Overview
GM Note: This is a live document, and will be
updated a little bit at a time. It is not, by any means,
all-inclusive.
In particular, expect to see additional weapons,
mechanical changes, and other miscellaneous
options as changes are made/implemented.
General Info:
This compendium takes its inspiration from two broad
genres: the Victorian era and Wild West era, times spanning
around the 1800s to the early 1900s. It introduces a
multitude of varying mechanics, weapons, races, classes, and
more.
This book contains mechanics and flavor that can be used
piecemeal to suit the DM's desired form of adventure and
play. The book was made to have versatility in mind; the
mechanics introduced can be ignored or altered to better suit
the world the Dungeon Master has built.
Alongside this book, you can also find "Steampunk
Compendium Volume 2: What Lurks in Shadows", a monster
compendium to flavor your world with mechanical marvels as
well as horrifying and thematic NPCs based out of Victorian
horror. If you have any questions on rulings, mechanics, or
anything involving the book, please do not hesitate to contact
one of the three creators via private message on Reddit.
Optional: World Background
The world has entered a new era of technological
advancement. With inventors tinkering away in their shops
and mages unearthing powerful artifacts the world has yet to
witness, technology has begun to look indisiguishable from
magic. Races from far away lands, and weapons of war find
themselves brought into the fray. The very being of the world
has changed in previously unimaginable ways. In the face of
discovery and innovation, how will the people react?
City Vs. Outside World
In the cities, although humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes
make up the majority of the population, other diverse races
can be found in smaller numbers, such as kobolds, goblins,
half-orcs, dragonborn, etc. Some of these “exotic races”,
though, prefer the tranquility of the natural world and less
populated settlements.
Law enforcement agents are better equipped then the
average town guard, but aren’t necessarily better as a result.
Medicine has also improved with technological advancement,
allowing people in general to live longer and stay healthier.
One can still expect the city to be divided into the
traditional poor and rich districts, but this division has
worsened to the point where the poor district is much larger,
due to the exodus of people moving to cities for their larger
job opportunities, safety, or other unspecified reasons.
The richer parts of the cities are usually closer to the city
center or at higher elevations, having better access to many
different kinds of services, such as the aforementioned
medicine and law enforcement.
The poorer parts of the cities are usually closer to the city
walls or on these outskirts. You can find the slums, ghettos,
and run-down areas where the poor and deprived gather and
try to survive in this new age. In these areas, law enforcement
and other services are a bit scarcer, causing crime to be more
rampant.
The real danger of these cities are the criminal underworld.
A nest of cheats, scoundrels and liars, the place where
thieves and murderers satiate their growing desire to spread
anarchy and commit crimes. Usually, the underworld of a city
is located in the slums, but in some cities it is similar to an
infestation that has grown out of control and practically holds
a town or city hostage.
No matter how much law enforcement may try to cut down
on underworld activity, they will never be able to destroy it
completely, and some may not even want to. Corruption is
quite profitable, after all, if one can get past the suffering they
inflict on others.

Awakened Undead
by u/The_Singular_Anyone
THE MISTS CLING TO THE TALL CHARRED PINES

of the valeheart woods like clawed spectral fingers, as the

billowing breeze breathing through the trees give this
miasma a sinister semblance of life. At once menacing and
warding against outside visitors to this deathly realm, the
locals know well of the evil nature of this forest, and how
willing the very air of this place is to choke the live out of
those foolish mortals that venture inside.
Nevertheless, a gnarled dwarf by the name Blidwenn gazes
into the opaque vapor streaming from the trees, his eyes
more accustomed to the dim light of this place than the pure
sunshine found in more wholesome lands. Braiding a few
errant strands of beard, Blidwenn continues his vigil for well
on an hour, tracing the elusive forms in the mist for any sign
of living movement. Clasping his braid in a ruddy, calloused
hand, the dwarf lets loose a sigh and slowly rises to his feet.
His sharp dwarven eyes snap open and he pauses instantly
mid-motion. Movement in the mists, shadows, a shape
emerging from the woods. His vision traces the outline of a
lean, solitary figure, set bone white against the grey fog. With
slow, creaking footsteps, the creature emerges from the fog
and advances on the steadfast dwarf.
"That you, Clacks?" Blidwenn rumbles, his hammer
suddenly finding itself in his large hands, "You see anything
in there?"
"Indeed, friend," the approaching skeleton replies dryly,
holding aloft a faint, purple gem, "The master's old phylactery
wasn't nearly as well defended as he would have us think."

    Death comes for all things in a near-infinite variety of ways.
So, too, are there many reasons that the dead might return
from the grave. Directly applied necromancy, cursed lands,
and unfinished buisness are but a few, and all leave the
newly-undead soul with a mere semblance of the life it had
before. All undead carry the physical or emotional scars of
what ended their mortal lives, though some may be far more
subtle than others.
Dead and Reborn
Typically having no lands to call their own, undead with an
awakened sense of self are typically perpetual foreigners,
wanderers in a land and often a time not their own.
Compounding matters, most mortal cultures carry within
them an instinctual fear of death and the dead, and many
associate necromancy specifically with dark tidings. This
forms a wall of (often well earned) prejudice and hatred that
sentient undead find themselves up against, and many
undead choose to hide their necrotic natures behind clothes,
masks, and pungent perfumes when journeying into
civilization.
Depending on composition, humanoid undead typically
range a wide gamut from 20 to 300 pounds, and may possess
empty eyes, a colored flame-like magical aimuss in their
sockets, or harrowed, surprisingly mortal eyes burning with
an inner fire. Hair (if they have it at all) is usually lank, dark,
and wrought with grime and grave dirt that no amount of
cleansing will fully remove.
Service and Freedom
Undeath is effectively immortality, a strong reason why many
mortal spellcasters of a certain moral bent consider it a
viable alternative to actually dying. Still, it is not immortality
without price - senses and emotions dull, food and drink no
longer have taste, and often an undead state comes alongside
a subservience of will and unthinking service to a master who
likely does not have the world's best intentions at heart.
    Some undead are born into freedom, while others earn it
or have it thrust upon them. Regardless, all undead that have
freedom greatly cherish it, as the reminders of what could
easily happen were they not fortunate enough to possess free
will abound throughout history. Many consider it their sacred
duty to free other mindless undead, or simply dispatch them
wherever they may be found. The reason is straightforward
enough: a final rest awarded to all mortals is greatly
preferential to eternal slavery to the likes of a short-sighted,
megalomaniacal wizard.
Fallen Home, Forgotten Past
For many awakened undead, the past is a distant homeland to
which they may never return, holding names and faces now
partially-forgotten, and loves and lives as dead as they are.
The anguish of this loss is enough to drive many mad, but
others use this rage and pain as a source of power and drive,
carrying them further on the road to whatever dark destiny
awaits.
Frequently, entire countries, customs, and cultures the
undead may be familiar with no longer exist, and the sentient
dead behaves or speaks in a antiquated fashion because of
this. It may be even more difficult than usual for such undead
to relate to more modern mortals, and typically these undead
leverage what companions they may have to bridge this
epoch-long communication gap.
Undead Names
Many undead that awaken into sentience prefer to keep the
names they held in their mortal lives. For others
however, their mortal names are forgotten or have lost
meaning. These undead often adopt nicknames given to them
by their former masters or present companions, and hold
them to be as true as any other creature's birth name.
5
 Examples of names given in this fashion may be seen
below:
Names: Rattlebones, Spore, Rotface, Raven, Bane, Carver,
Drudge, Rook, Mort, Pale, Minion, Crumble, Shade
Awakened Undead Traits
Awakened undead have the following traits in common:
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score
fragmented sense of self and newfound purpose, you struck
increases by 1.
Dead Immortality. You do not age. Given time, the
necromantic energies that sustain you will heal most wounds
you take at approximately the same rate as a mortal, and your
hit dice function as normal.
Past Life. Choose another living race besides this one.
Before your death, you were a member of this race and
appear as an undead version of it. Your size, height, and
movement speed are the same as a typical member of that
race. You do not retain special movement speeds from this
race (such as swimming or flying), and, though you may
choose to have formerly been a member of a subrace of a
particular race, you derive no benefits from doing so.
Undead. Raised from the dead as a beaing of undeath, you
count as an undead creature for all spells and abilities that
affect the undead. You are immune to disease and treat
exhaustion as if it was one level less. You do not need to eat
or breathe, but you can ingest food and drink if you wish.
Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4 hours
each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully aware
of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and
other events as normal.
Darkvision. Through the necromantic energy animating
you, you are able to perceive with greater clarity thatwhich
lurks in the darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 feet
of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were
dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of
grey.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
one language avalible to the race you chose for your Past
Life.
Subrace. Three types of awakened undead are avalible to
you. Choose Skeleton, Revenant, or Ghost, listed in the
following sections.
6
Skeletons
An animated figure made of dry bones devoid of flesh and
muscle, you were likely raised by a necromantic caster or
dark, supernatural curse as a simple minion, completely
without will and self knowledge. Something changed,
however; perhaps your master was slain, the land cleansed,
or you merely awoke one day to fragmented memories of
your previous life. Whatever the case, possessed of a
out into the wider world to find a new destiny.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity or Intelligence
score increases by 2.
Bloodless. You are immune to poison damage and the
poisoned condition.
Bone Pile. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not
killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. If you do,
you reduce yourself to a pile of bones, render yourself prone,
and are considered under a similar effect to the feign death
spell. While subject to this condition, you are unable to move
or take action other than using your action to end this effect.
You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Bone To Pick. Whenever both of your hands are free (not
including equipped shields), you may use a free hand and a
bonus action to remove one of your hands or arms. If you
remove an arm, it counts as a weapon with the finesse
property that deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage, and you have
proficiency with your arm while you wield it. If you remove a
hand, it counts as thieves' tools or a similar set of simple tools
while you hold it. In either case, removed hands and arms
may be re-attached by using another bonus action.
Revenant
When a brutal murder or an atrocious crime slays an
innocent soul endowed with suffcient willpower, there is a
rare occasion where the victim refuses to stand by and stay
dead. You were created not at the whim of a mortal
spellcaster, but when you were slain and either a god of
death, veneance, or justice, or you yourself, took enough
umbrage at the death to raise you from the grave, typically at
least a full day (though sometimes up to centuries, if the
revenge is still relevant) after your death occured.

Unnatural Vitality. When you drop to 0 hit points, you may
choose to stay conscious instead of falling unconscious. If
you do, you gain temporary hit points equal to your total
character level. In this state, you may take an action or bonus
action on your turn, but not both, and you make death saving
throws at the end of your turn as usual. You can remain in
this state until you fail your first death saving throw (at which
point you fall unconscious and continue making death saving
throws until you stabilize or regain additional hit points) or
die outright to massive damage. You can't use this feature
again until you finish a long rest.
Ghost
Lingering souls of the dead and departed, ghost are raised as
servants by potent necromancers or hold onto the world
theselves where there is unfinished business they yet to
accomplish. Adventurous ghosts such as yourself typically
either escape the masters that raised them or have
something unresolved from their days amongst the living that
requires they journey far and wide. If a ghost is charged with
unfinished business it can take many forms, from protecting
a loved one to keeping a particular item safe to simple
revenge. Ghosts are spectral and luminous, but solid to the
touch, and can interact with objects as mortals do. All ghosts
carry obvious and sometimes twisted marks of what caused
their death, which are often quite disturbing to all but the
most jaded mortals.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma or Wisdom score
increases by 2.
Bloodless. You are immune to poison damage and the
poisoned condition.
Flight. You gain a fly speed equal to half your land speed,
rounded up to the nearest 5 feet.
Withering Touch. Your unarmed strike deals necrotic
damage, as well as additional damage equal to your
Constitution modifier.
Incorporeal Stride. You can move through other creature
and objects other than physical barriers (such as walls or
ceilings) as if they were difficult terrain. Once per short rest,
you may pass through up to 10 feet of physical barriers
(treating them as difficult terrain) as a part of movement. You
take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside an object
or barrier, and are immediately ejected to the closest
available space if within a barrier.

Clockwork Automaton
By u/Maxhydro
There was once an ambitious master engineer who wanted
to create life. The engineer gave their all to birth such a
creation, until finally, using clockwork prosthetics, the
scientist created fully sentient automatons. At first they were
mindless machines, blindly following orders, but eventually
they grew consciousness, thoughts, and emotions. They'd ask
questions and wonder if they too were living beings. No such
answer was found, and the scientist died in the wake of their
creations - or so it is thought.
The future of this race of machines is a mystery; only a few
automatons were made to the complexity of the scientist's
original design, and all of their schematics, blueprints, plans,
and notes vanished with their death, save for a single note,
telling of a secret apprentice that would continue their work
where no one could find them. Few automatons exist
claiming to have a "soul", but it's likely more will appear when
the apprentice comes out of hiding.
Physical Description
Made of gears, metal, and cogs held together by magic,
Clockwork Automatons are beings unlike any other. They are
constructed out of combinations of thick ceramic and metal
filaments built around a metallic skeletal frame, with a
mysterious fibrous material acting as a muscular system. A
network of tubes runs through the Automaton's body, filled
with a blood-like fluid designed to lubricate and nourish their
gears.
Automatons are completely sexless and genderless.
Though their bodies may have been designed with masculine
or feminine features, these are considered by the Automatons
to be little more than aesthetics. Automatons are able to be
repaired and modified by those with the right training, which
makes for an endless array of possible changes to their
appearances in the hands of capable engineers.
A Clockwork Automaton on average stands little taller than
their creator's race's height and weighs in at 100 - 300 lbs.
These numbers will vary among specific Automatons.
Personality
Clockwork Automatons have unique personalities and
experience anger, pain, fear, and hatred, just like their human
creators. But Automatons naturally seem reserved, stoic, and
pensive, hiding an array of emotions behind their minorly
inexpressive metallic faces. Their faces were not designed to
display facial expressions, merely to replicate talking, so at
times they appear to be distant to the conversation. Despite
their lack of physical facial expressions, they're not
completely without them, as their eyes tend to brighten when
experiencing strong or specific emotions. Some Automatons
have their faces modified to be more expressive for their
companion's comfort, but these expressions are learned
rather than natural and often appear stilted and awkward.
8
Some Automatons can be incredibly naive and lack a sense
of introspection. However, many others are the opposite and
question their existence, they wonder if, as constructs, they
have souls, and ask what becomes of them in the afterlife.
More intelligent automatons create complex philosophies
about what they perceive and learn. Though they can show
loyalty to religions and organizations, typically they become
loyal to a small group of comrades.
Automatons built for war understand duty, the chain of
command, and conflict. But aside from this, many
Automatons often have little life experience as they have
spent most of their time working towards one specific duty. If
there is one interest all Clockwork Automatons share it is
their love of working and the satisfaction of a job well done.
Many create endless lists of goals and chores to feed that
feeling. They take pride in their work and can work incredibly
hard, both traits that make them dislike idleness and failure.
Automatons can excel at most tasks, having a single-minded
efficiency, especially in combat related roles. But this same
single-mindedness can often translate to a lack of creativity
and they can be easily surprised or "outflanked."
Clockwork Automatons dislike being called "it" and usually
accept the gendered pronoun that they most closely
resemble. Some Automatons adopt names from the culture
they were created in, though most of their names were
assigned at construction and are straightforward and related
to their job, abilities or rank. Many Automatons simply accept
the nicknames given to them by their comrades while others
seek more meaningful names that best describe them.
Automaton Names
Clockwork Automatons are usually given names by their
creators, either named for their purpose or rank or adopted
from the naming tradtions of the race that created them.
Some Automatons adopt a "personal name," chosen for
themselves after long periods of soul-searching. This name is
usually a special designation an Automaton reserves only for
their friends and carries sentimental meaning to them.
Examples of names given in this fashion may be seen
below:
Names: Andromeda, Hunter, Legacy, Loki, Babylon, Raven,
Harmony, Hercules, Exarch, Nexus, Legionnaire, Vagabond,
Vice
Names of Automatons can also be chosen by trusted
companions or by parental figures that hold a sort of close
bond. Examples of names given in this fashion may be seen
below:
Names: Prime, Alpha, Gears, Tick Tock, Brass, Spirit,
Silver, Gold, Plexi, Bronze, Steel, Id
Automaton Traits
You share a number of traits with other Automatons:
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases
by 2.
Age. Automatons are created as adults; they have no
childhood or adolescence. It is theorized that Automatons
may show signs of physical deterioration after about 150-200
years, but have no further aging effects after that point and no
maximum age.
Alignment. Automatons tend toward lawful alignments, as
they were constructed to be built for one purpose, usually to
help their creator or other sentient beings.
Size. Automatons who are gendered as "male" tend to have
broader and heavier builds while "female" gendered
automatons are thinner, looking more like the race they were
Finesse Frame
Automatons with this frame type are agile, small, and quick
on their feet. These types were primarily built for

known to have been created or altered, each quite unique in
their own respect, built for different jobs.

Dhampir
Physical Characteristics
Tall and slender and with well-defined musculature,
dhampirs look like statuesque humans of unearthly beauty.
Their hair, eye, and skin colors resemble unnerving versions
of their mothers’; many possess a ghastly pallor, particularly
in the sunlight, while those with dark complexions often
possess skin the color of a bruise.
While many dhampirs can pass as humans in ideal
conditions, their features are inevitably more pronounced
and they move with an unnaturally fluid grace. All dhampirs
have elongated incisors.
Society
Dhampirs have no culture of their own, nor do they have any
known lands or even communities. Often born in secret and
abandoned at orphanages or left to die on the outskirts of
town, they tend to live solitary lives as exiles and outcasts.
Individuals acquire the cultural beliefs and teachings of the
regions in which they grew up, and adopt additional
philosophies over the course of their complex lives. This
ability to adapt to a verity of circumstances provides
dhampirs with a social camouflage that hides them from both
predators and prey. In rare instances, dhampirs might gather
to form small groups or cabals dedicated to resolving their
joint issues. Even so, the philosophies of such groups reflect
the interests of the individuals involved, not any common
dhampir culture.
Relations
As dhampirs are scions of evil, few races view them favorably.
They share an affinity for those half-breeds whose sinister
ancestry also sets them apart from human society,
particularly tieflings and half-orcs. Humans view them with a
combination of fear and pity, though such feelings often
devolve into hatred and violence. Other humanoid races, such
as dwarves, elves, and halflings, simply shun them. Similarly,
dhampirs bear a deep-seeded loathing for living creatures,
their hatred planted by jealousy and fed by frustration.
Alignment & Religions
Most dhampirs succumb to the evil within their blood. They
are unnatural creatures, and the foul influence of their
undead heritage makes an evil outlook difficult to overcome.
Those who struggle against their wicked natures rarely
progress beyond a neutral outlook.
Dhampir Names
Lacking a culture and unified traditions, dhampirs share
humans’ predilection for a diversity of names, and most keep
their human birth names. Many dhampirs take their mother’s
surname, while others take the surname of the towns or
regions in which they were born, or use a surname derived
from a significant event.
10
Dhampir Traits
Dhampirs share certain abilities with Vampires thanks to the
curse they share.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 2 and
Charisma by 1.
Age. Dhampirs are long lived thanks to their vampire
heritage. They reach adulthood at the same rate as a human,
but can live for several hundred years.
Size. Dhampir have the same range of height and weight
as humans.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Cursed by your vampire heritage, you can
easily see through darkness. You can see in dim light within
60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it
were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only
shades of gray.
Vampiric Resistance. You have resistance to Necrotic
damage.
Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls
and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when
you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to
perceive is in direct sunlight.
Vampiric Magic. You know the minor illusion cantrip.
When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the charm person
spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when
you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast
the misty step spell once with this trait and regain the ability
to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your
spellcasting ability for these spells.
Bite. Your fangs are natural weapons, which you can use to
make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing
damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the
bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike
Blood Thirst. In the heat of battle, you can throw yourself
into a bloodlust. As a bonus action, you can make a special
attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal
damage, and you gain temporary hit points (minimum of 1)
equal to your Constitution modifier, and you can’t use this
trait again until you finish a short or long rest.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
one additional language.

Kobold (Revised)
Originally by u/Elevatorrampage
Kobolds are small humanoid creatures, distantly related to
dragons. They are feisty and aggressive, yet inward and
industrious at the same time. They are known for their skill
at mining and tunneling, trapmaking, and ambush tactics.
Often, kobolds are found serving dragons, becoming useful
yet expendable minions. A kobold adventurer, however, might
have shrugged off a life of servitude, seeking something
bigger in the world outside their caves and tunnels.
Kobold Traits
As a kobold you have the following racial traits:
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score
Kobold Skirmisher
increases by 1.
Age. Kobolds reach adulthood at age 6 and can live up to
120 years (but rarely do so).
Alignment. Kobolds are fundamentally selfish, yet often
rely on the strength of the group. This causes them to trend
towards lawful and evil alignments.
Size. Kobolds are between 2 and 3 feet tall and weigh
between 25 and 35 pounds. Your size is Small.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Gear-smith. As part of a long rest, you can use an
appropriate set of artisan's tools, such as smith's tools,
alchemists's supplies, or a poisoner's kit, to harvest raw
materials and process them into one of the following items: a
hunting trap, a flask of alchemist's fire, a vial of acid, or a vial
of basic poison. If you use this feature, you always create at
least one of these items; however, you can attempt to create a
second one as part of the same long rest by succeeding an
appropriate DC 15 artisan's tools check.
The items created are of crude make and are thus of no
value to merchants. Each item is only good for a single use.
Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls
and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when
you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to
perceive is in direct sunlight.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
Draconic.
Subrace. Three subraces of Kobold exist: Kobold
Dragonheart, Kobold Skirmisher, and Kobold Scavenger.
Choose one of them for your character.
Kobold Dragonheart
Kobold dragonhearts, also known as dragonwrought kobolds
or Urd, are more closely connected to their dragon kin, which
shows itself in the following traits:
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score
increases by 2.
Hardened Scales. While you are not wearing any armor,
your Armor Class equals 12 + your Dexterity modifier.
Flight. You have a flying speed of 30 feet. To use this speed,
you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor.
Kobold’s Breath. You can cast the color spray spell once
with this trait, requiring no material or somatic components.
You regain the ability to cast it this way when you finish a
long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Kobold skirmishers are the iconic type you might find
skittering in the hallways and tunnels of a dungeon or cave.
They are quick and deadly, at least as long as they stay in a
group.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by
an additional 1, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Quick on Your Feet. As part of your movement on your
first turn of a combat encounter, you can sprint towards a foe,
moving an additonal amount equal to half your speed
towards any creature that has not yet moved this combat.
Subterranean. Whenever you make an Wisdom (Survival)
check while underground, you are considered proficient in
the Survival skill and add double your proficiency bonus to
the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
Kobold Weapons Training. You have proficiency with the
dagger, shortsword, whip, and hand crossbow.
Kobold Scavenger
Kobold Scavengers are the crafty and resourceful ones.
Usually, the pesky traps found in a kobold den are of their
design.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score
increases by 2.
Use What You Got. You are proficient with improvised
weapons and you increase the damage die of an improvised
weapon attack to a d6. Additionally, you may use your
Intelligence modifier in place of Strength or Dexterity for
your attack and damage rolls. You must use the same
modifier for both rolls.
Gear Tinker. You are able to more effectively use your
creations. The saving throw DC of a trap you create with your
Gear-smith racial trait is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus
+ your Intelligence modifier.
Tool Versatility. You gain proficiency in two tools of your
choice.
Skill Proficiency. You are proficient with one Intelligence
based skill of your choice.

Talis knew that it was time to find shelter, as the gray dim
light of day soon gave way to the grim darkness of the
starless night.
Long eons in the Shadowfell have shaped the shadar-kai
into a fiery and, some say, cruel people. Fighting the apathy
pervasive in their home plane, shadar-kai live passionately
and fearlessly, albeit grimly. They see themselves as
instruments of death and dissolution, the bringers of the
righteous end to complacency, stagnation, and life itself.
Theirs is a harsh society of self-interest. Among shadar-kai,
the strong of body and mind excel and create legends. The
weak molder to dust, passing into eternity unremembered.
Children of the Dark Lady
A shadar-kai has a colorless complexion that varies from
alabaster to dark gray. Shadar-kai hair is similarly drab or
raven black. The eyes are lustous red or black, lacking any
white or clear pupil. Shadows near a shadar-kai may seem to
reach out or deepen, especially when that shadar-kai is angry.
Most shadar-kai are followers of Shar, a deity of darkness
that once upon a time bestowed her gifts upon a group of
humans. This shadowy heritage compelled them to move into
the dark parallel of the Prime Material plane known as the
Shadowfell.
Passion for the Extreme
Prolonged existance in the Shadowfell did not come without
a price. The grim misery that defined the plane initially tore
the shadar-kai into dreadful beings. Gripped by the dark
despair, some shadar-kai simply faded from existance, first
turning insubstantial and then vanishing altogether. As their
people began to fade into the shadows, many shadar-kai
sought to stimulate their mind and bodies, committing
themselves to passion and excess to stave off the overbearing
malaise.

12
Shadar-kai Traits
Shadar-kai share certain traits only abided by natives of the
Shadowfell.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by
2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age. While on their native plane, a shadar-kai ages at half
the rate of a normal human. Otherwise, their rate of aging is
no different from other humans.
Alignment. Shadar-kai inherit a tendency towards chaotic
alignments, brought on by living in the Shadowfell. Most
often find themselves to lean towards neutral or evil.
Size. Shadar-kai are humanlike, but the weight of
existance in the Shadowfell has shaped them to be slightly
shorter and much thinner than their human counterparts.
Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Your shadowy heritage has acquainted you
with seeing in dark conditions. You can see in dim light
within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness
as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness,
only shades of gray.
Shadar-kai Weapon Training. You are proficient with the
spiked chain, flail, net, and whip.
Shadow Jaunt. You can cast the misty step spell once
using this trait. You regain this ability to do so when you
finish a short or long rest.
Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls
and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when
you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to
perceive is in direct sunlight.
Languages. Shadar-kai retain their home dialect, since
they were once humans; their existence rarely gives them any
need to learn any other. You can speak, read, and write
Common and Undercommon.

Spiked Chains
The spiked chain is an exotic weapon chiefly found
in the shadar-kai's arsenal. It is highly unusual and
unwieldy, making it difficult to master.
In order to wield the spiked chain effectively,
you must have the Great Weapon Master feat,
otherwise, each weapon attack you make with it
has disadvantage. The shadar-kai, who have been
trained to use this weapon from a young age, can
ignore this requirement.
Spiked Chain. This length of chain with spikes
welded onto its links weighs five pounds. It has the
heavy, reach, and versatile properties. For those
daring enough to use it one-handed, it deals 1d6
piercing damage on a hit; for standard, two-handed
use, it deals 2d4 piercing damage instead.
Shadar-kai legends tell of their ancient warlords
that wielded dual spiked chains, one in each hand,
and led their people to conquer the darkest
reaches of the Shadowfell.

 Racial Adjustments
In this more advanced age, the growing presence of magic
and technology has changed the way races interact with their
surroundings.
These changes will evolve with the campaign as it goes.
Everything you see here is capable of changing in the future
or not being involved in the game at DMs discretion.
Dwarves:
Hill dwarves
Many of those that used to be referred to as “hill dwarves”
moved on to fill in as intermediaries between the deep-
dwelling mountain dwarves and the growing “civilized” world.
Hill dwarves have become surface dwellers that gain
advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks among common
folk, but have lessened darkvision, up to 30 feet.
Mountain dwarves
Many of the mountain dwarves remained in seclusion within
mountainous fortresses. As a result, they have trouble
congregating into civilized areas and prefer more natural
areas. Their heritage retains the dwarves' 60 foot darkvision.
Elves:
With the exception of drow and moon elves, adapting to
modern technology has left most elves without darkvision,
but provided other unique traits instead.
High elves
High elves have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks
involving eyesight in direct sunlight.
Moon elves have darkvision up to 60 feet in direct
moonlight, as long as there are no other light sources within
60 feet. They also have advantage on Wisdom (Perception)
checks in these conditions.
Wood elves
Wood elves are likely to have spent most of their time living
outside of the “civilized” world. They have adapted to using
electrical lighting with modern technology, but still retain an
uncanny familiarity with the “uncivilized” world. Thus, they
will notice small differences in natural environments and will
have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks outside of
civilization as long as they can see.
Drow
All drow were born in the underdark. They retain their 60
feet of darkvision.
The banishment of the drow to the underdark is still in
effect, even now. They are a rare sight on the surface world,
and are - at the very least - regarded in a suspicious manner.
Drow have disadvantage on all Charisma checks if they are
recognized as drow.
The few drow that have a reason to leave the underdark
know to hide their true identity. A character who plays a
surface dwelling drow will have proficiency with the disguise
kit. If a class or background would normally grant proficiency
with the disguise kit, they gain proficiency with another
toolkit of their choice instead (at the DM's discretion).
14
Gnomes:
Rock gnomes
“Rock gnomes” are now more commonly known as “Tinker
gnomes” as their tinkering typically places them in
technological roles. They have advantage on any checks that
involve manipulating a mechanical or electric item.
Forest gnomes
Forest gnomes typically avoid the bustle of the cities, instead
choosing to hone and maintain their knowledge of the world
outside their walls. They have advantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks outside of civilization as long as they can
see.
Half-Elves
Life spent among modern technology and readily accessible
lighting has left half-elves without darkvision.
As half-breeds, half-elves are haunted by the social stigma
of their mixed ancestry. Quick thinking and the need to
adequately assess social situations has granted them
advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks against commoners,
but they have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks
against individual who have “racial pride,” particularly
regarding Elves and Humans.
As half-breeds, half-elves are unable to reproduce.
Half-Orcs
Orcs can still be found in the modern world as a sentient
species, but are more often than not in highly vegetated areas
far from civilization, usually farmers or secluded societies.
Half-orcs deal with prejudice similarly to half-elves, but
tend to be more feared (usually with good reason). They gain
advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks against
common folk, but have disadvantage on other Charisma
checks against them.
Having distanced themselves from the cities, half-orcs (and
Orcs, for that matter) are unlikely to have a major
understanding of technology and will have disadvantage on
checks involving technology unless they have received
training.
Half-orcs tend to be particularly adept at “sizing up”
opponents. They may analyze an opponent by rolling a
Wisdom (Perception) check contested by the target's
Charisma (Deception) to determine its threat level (CR).
As half-breeds, half-orcs are unable to reproduce.
Tieflings
In “modern” society, sin and vice run rampant. Tieflings are
the offspring of demons with humanoid races, and typically
are treated as such: children of vice.
Tieflings have disadvantage on all Charisma checks when
dealing with “normal” commoners in “normal” situations, but
have advantage on all Charisma checks when dealing with
individuals of a “shady” nature. This extends to individuals
who glorify a life of “sin and vice.”
Due to their urban upbringing, surrounded by technology,
most Tieflings have never spent time in the dark except when
taking their rests. Tieflings still retain their darkvision, but
only out to 30 feet.
Classes

A
dditional classes have been added to the
universe of Dungeons and Dragons made by
content creators and Wizards of the Coast.
These are to give players more options when
selecting a class to play making in game
roleplay and combat a more fun experience.
 

Where's the Artificer?

Yes, a steampunk setting seems remiss without an
artificer class, you are correct. However, many have
tried and succeeded in creating an artificer class,
including Wizards of the Coast themselves, and it
would be a disservice to ignore those efforts.
This document originally came with a reprint of
the Artificer rework performed by reddit user
u/Revlid. His take on an artificer is that of magical
artisan, able to create "temporary" magic items
with his own magical essence. Its subclasses
include the Apothecary, Golemancer, and
Wandslinger. This artificer can be found here:
Artificer [5e class]
Alternatively, Wizards has finally made their
Artificer official, as of the printing of Eberron:
Rising from the Last War. Their artificer relies on
his own tools to create magical effects. They are
capable of using Artificer Infusions to create magic
items, but rather than simply replicating spell
effects, they are capable of other feats. Subclasses
for the Artificer include the Alchemist, the
Artillerist, and the Battle Smith.
Feel free to use one or both, or neither,
depending on the needs of your setting.

their gifts in nomadic solitude, stealing from the
unsuspecting or drifting from tavern to tavern to gamble or
offering their services as a mercenary. Others flaunt their
power in public, seeking out others of their ilk to either
collaborate and trade with or to battle for superiority.
In combat, a card master's talents are suited to supporting
their allies and weakening their enemies through strategic
use of their cards. However, in a pinch, a good card master
always has an ace up their sleeve, able to unleash a powerful
spell to keep an enemy at bay, giving their allies time to
regroup... or, perhaps, for the card master themselves to
make a clean getaway.
Creating a Card Master
Every card master begins with a small starter set of cards.
How did your character obtain this set of cards? Did you have
a master you learned from? Did you find them in a ancient
ruin, and then experiment with them until you figured out
how to use them? Did you have natural talent, or did it come
slowly to you after years of practice?
What causes you to start adventuring? Are you on a quest
to add to your collection? Have you taken on an apprentice to
whom you are teaching your art? Or perhaps you simply wish
to put your newfound power to the test.

Card Magic
Your magic comes from your cards, specially scribed pieces
of stiff wood sheets, vellum, or another laminated material,
bearing the arcane glyphs required to focus and unleash
magical energy.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know the cantrip card throw as well as two
other cantrips from the card master spell list. You learn
additional card master cantrips of your choice at higher
levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Card
Master table.
Your Growing Card Collection
At 1st level, you have a collection of four 1st-level card master
spell cards of your choice. Additionally, each time you gain a
card master level, you can add two additional card master
spell cards of your choice to your collection. Each of these
spell cards must be a spell from the card master spell list
whose level is no higher than your Maximum Spell Level, as
shown in the column in the Card Master table.
You may also come across other spell cards over the course
of your travels, either by themselves as one would find a spell
scroll, or perhaps by finding another card master who is
willing to share their gains with you. It is assumed that card
masters have multiple copies of their spell cards that they are
willing to trade, so no spells are lost as a result of these
trades.
Finally, if you find a spell written in a scroll or spell book, if
the spell is on the card master spell list, you can create a new
spell card for that spell and add it to your collection, using the
same rules as that of a wizard's spellbook.
Your Deck
The card master, unfortunately, does not have his entire
collection of spell cards available to him at all times. He must
instead take cards from his collection and create a deck of
cards from which to draw his power from in the heat of
battle.
The cards in your deck determine the spells you will be
able to cast that day; therefore, it must be prepared at the
completion of a long rest, in much the same way a cleric,
druid, or ranger would prepare their daily list of spells.
However, your method of preparation is different.

17
 Preparing your Deck
To prepare your deck, you choose a number of spell cards
from your collection to add to your deck. Your deck, once
complete, will have a total of twenty cards in it.
Each card represents a single casting of a spell at its base
spell level. If you wish to be able to cast the same spell
multiple times, or increase your likelihood of drawing it, you
will need to add the card to your deck multiple times. A card
master is assumed to have enough copies of the spell cards in
their collection to accomodate for this requirement. You may
have up to three copies of a single spell card in your deck.
Each spell card you add to your deck has a point value
based on its spell level, as indicated by the Point Cost table:
Point Cost
Spell Level First Copy Each Additional Copy
1st 2 points 0 points
2nd 3 points 1 point
3rd 5 points 2 points
4th 6 points 3 points
5th 7 points 4 points
The total point value of the cards in your deck must not
exceed the value stated in the Deck Points column of the
Card Master table.
There will likely come a point where you cannot create a
complete twenty-card deck using the cards in your collection.
In that case, any remaining spots in the deck are filled with
blank cards worth 0 points.
Your Hand
As an action, you may draw a hand of five cards from your
deck. This is a representation of the powers from your deck
brought to the fore, ready to be unleashed.
Cards drawn into your hand are not truly in your actual,
physical hand; instead, they float intangibly about your
person, circling your body but providing no real cover.
When you have used all the cards in your hand, either by
casting them or discarding them, you may draw a new hand
of five cards as a bonus action. Alternatively, if you do not like
the hand dealt to you, you may use your action to "mulligan",
shuffling your hand into your deck and drawing a new hand
consisting of one fewer card than what was shuffled in.
Casting Spells
You cast spells from your hand by taking the floating card and
channeling energy into it. The card itself drops to your feet,
its magic spent, before transporting itself into your discard
pile.
When you use a spell card to cast a spell, it is done at the
lowest possible spell level. However, as part of the same
action used to cast the spell, you can discard additional cards
from your hand to increase the effective spell level of that
spell for this casting. Each card discarded increases the spell
level by one, up to your Maximum Spell Level.
You may use any card, even a blank card as described
above, to cast a card master cantrip you know. When you do
so, the card is shuffled into your deck, ready to be drawn
again.
18
Your Discard Pile
Whether as a result of of casting a spell card or discarding it
from your hand, expended spell cards are transported to an
extradimensional space known as the discard pile. Cards in
this pile are returned to your collection at the end of a long
rest.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your card master
spells, as card magic is fueled by sheer force of will. You use
your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when
setting the saving throw DC for a card master spell you cast
and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
Your cards themselves serve as an arcane focus, replacing
any material components that do not have a gold value. Your
card magic is intrinsically tied to having these cards in your
possession; a card master's collection must be kept complete
and in good condition at all times.
 
A Deck with Dice?
The easiest way to play as a card master is... well...
with cards. Using a deck of standard playing cards
as a prop is the simplest way to track what is in
your deck, hand, and discard pile. Simply make a
note of which card represents which spell.
If such a prop is unavailable to you, it is possible
to represent the randomness of a deck of cards
with a single d20. Keep a list of what spells
correspond to what numbers on the dice, 1-20.
Whenever you would draw a card, instead roll the
d20 once, and mark down which number was
rolled.
When you roll the dice again, if you get a result
that has already been used, simply take the next
highest number.
 
Full House
At 1st level, as you practice your card magic, you become
adept at drawing out every bit of magic you can from the
cards you use. Once per day, when you finish a short rest, you
can choose five cards in your discard pile and shuffle them
back into your deck.
Following Suit
When you reach 2nd level, you choose a suit from the list of
known suits: the Duelist, the Fortune Teller, the Gambler, and
the Prestige. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and
again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Cycling
At 3rd level, you have become more efficient with the way you
manipulate your deck to bring forth the cards you wish to
use. As a bonus action, you can discard a blank card from
your hand and draw a new card to replace it.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Awe Strike
When you reach 7th level, your powerful will makes itself
known in the way you cast your spells. Whenever you cast a
spell of 4th level or higher that targets one or more enemies,
you can force one of them to make a Wisdom saving throw
against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature is
stunned until the end of its next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
complete a short or long rest.
Legendary Card
At 11th level, your card magic manifests a special, powerful
spell card known as your Legendary Card. Each Legendary
Card is reminiscent of its owner to some degree, and depicts
how its master's magic has been influenced and shaped by
their travels. This card distinguishes itself from the cards in
your collection, and is not considered a part of it. Your
Legendary Card vanishes from existence if you die, though it
returns if you are brought back to life.
The magic held within your Legendary Card is incredibly
potent. Adding it to your deck requires 25 points. However,
when you draw it, its benefits are immense. As long as it is in
your hand, your spell attack bonus and spell save DC get a +1
bonus, and if you attempt to discard it for any reason, it is
instead shuffled into your deck.
Finally, when you first acquire your Legendary Card,
choose a 6th-level spell from the card master spell list. The
spell is added to your Legendary Card. Additionally, at higher
levels, your Legendary Card gains more spells: one 7th-level
spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level and one
9th-level spell at 17th level. Each of these spells may be cast
from your Legendary Card once.
When you cast a spell from your Legendary Card, it returns
to your deck. If you have already cast all the spells stored on
your Legendary Card, it becomes the equivalent of a blank
card until its magic returns at the end of your next long rest.
Deck of Legends
Starting at 20th level, when preparing your deck, you can
choose to have two copies of your Legendary Card in your
deck, allowing you to cast each of your 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th-
level spells twice — once from each copy. Adding the second
copy of your Legendary Card to your deck costs an additional
25 points.
Following Suit
Not all card masters are created equal. Even the cards that
they use themselves differ to some degree. But different
specialized groups have emerged, each following a different
card-based tradition. These specializations are known (in a
tongue-in-cheek way) as "suits", and a card master who has
chosen their path is known as "following suit" or "suited".
The Duelist
Card masters following this suit show off their magical
abilities, seeking to become stronger and smarter all for the
purpose of taking on other card masters. Duels between
followers of this suit tend to be flashy, dramatic affairs with
chains of reactive plays and sudden turns. A mild cult
following has grown around Duelists, and public duels and
magical tournaments are not uncommon.
One with the Cards
When you follow this suit at 2nd level, you develop a bond
with your cards that extends beyond mere ownership. As an
action, you may discard a card to cause it to animate, moving
up to your movement speed, where it hovers in place for 1
minute before returning to your discard pile. As long as it is
in the space, you can choose to perceive through it (no action
required), seeing and hearing things as if you were in the
space. Additionally, as a bonus action, you may choose to
teleport to the card's location, ending the effect immediately.
Trump Card
At 6th level, your intuition for dueling helps you sense
weakness in your opponent. As a reaction when you see an
opponent make an attack or cast a spell within 20 feet of you,
you may cast a spell from your hand that takes 1 action or
less to cast. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again
until you complete a short or long rest.
Spell Resonance
When you reach 10th level, your spells can be made more
powerful with the right cards in hand. Whenever you cast a
spell, if you have another copy of that spell card in your hand,
you may increase the spell level for this casting by one, up to
your Maximum Spell Level.
Duelist's Heart
At 14th level, your connection to your cards and your deck
borders on complete union as you defy chance to draw
exactly the card you need at the exact moment you need it. If
your hand is empty, instead of drawing a new hand, you can
use your bonus action to take a card of your choice from your
deck and put it into your hand. Once you use this feature, you
can't use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
19
 The Fortune Teller
A far cry from the duelist or gambler, this type of card master
prefers to keep their magic shrouded an air of mysticism.
With the power of their cards, they claim to see visions of the
future and influence fate. Often times, they find employ as
oracles or soothsayers, operating out of tents filled with
incense and smoke, waving their hands over crystal balls.
Nevertheless, their powerful divination magic is not to be
underestimated.
Scrying Sense
When you follow this suit at 2nd level, your powers of
divination allow you to influence your deck. Whenever you
draw your hand, you may instead draw six cards, returning
one of your choice to your deck.
Portentous Reading
At 6th level, you may attempt to peer through the veil,
catching glimpses of the future. You can take 10 minutes to
perform a ritual, targeting a single willing creature, to attempt
to influence fate in their favor by reading their fortune in your
cards. Roll a d4. Based on the result, the DM alters fate for
the targeted creature, typically by applying a bonus or penalty
to random attack rolls or ability checks the target makes
within the next 24 hours, using the table below:
Portent
Maximum
If you use this feature against an attack, you only take half
d4 Result Reading Bonus/Penalty
1 Catastrophe -5
2 Misfortune -2
3 Small Blessing +2
4 Triumph +5
Other possible results of this reading include finding gold,
stumbling into a trap, or getting a lucky bounce from a
missed spell. Ultimately the effect is at the DM's discretion.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the
next dawn.
Forging Fate
At 10th level, your deck's magic shifts in focus, granting you
power when you guide fate along. Whenever you cast a spell
that targets one or more allies, both you and each of those
allies gain temporary hit points equal to the point value of the
spell card used.
Whispers from Beyond
At 14th level, your connection to your deck reaches outside of
space and time. As long as you have more than ten cards in
your discard pile, your ability checks are made at advantage.
20
The Gambler
Followers of this suit are charismatic daredevils that revel in
chaos and risk, pushing the limits of their magic and
themselves, calculating chance and making large sacrifices to
reap large rewards. These are the card masters likely to take
their places in casinos and gambling dens, either gainfully
employed as entertainers, or scamming people of their hard-
earned coin.
Up the Sleeve
When you follow this suit at 2nd level, after drawing a hand,
you may choose one of the cards in it and make a Sleight of
Hand check. The DC of this check is equal to 12 + the point
value of the card you choose. If you succeed, the card
disappears, and you draw a new one to replace it. At any time
before you draw a new hand, you may cast this spell card. If
you do, you may ignore its verbal and somatic components
for this casting only.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
complete a short or long rest.
Know When to Fold
At 6th level, when you are the target of an attack that you can
see, or if you are subjected to an effect that allows you to
make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you
may discard a card from your hand as a reaction to try to
escape.
damage from the triggering attack. If you use it against a
damaging effect, you instead take no damage if you succeed
on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Tip the Scales
Starting at 10th level, you have a knack for introducing
additional risk to a tense situation. Whenever you make an
attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can choose to
roll an additional 1d10 any time after making the roll but
before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. If the
number rolled on the d10 is even, then you add the value to
your result. If the number if odd, you instead subtract the
value from your result.
All In
When you reach 14th level, you gain the ability to manipulate
your own luck at the cost of your own life. You may use this
feature when you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving
throw. When you do, choose any number between 1 and 20
and use that number in place of the die roll. After the result of
the roll is resolved, you then take psychic damage equal to the
result (including any modifiers). This psychic damage cannot
be reduced.
If you choose to roll a 20 using this feature, it does not
count as a critical success.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
complete a short or long rest.

Trick Card
At 10th level, your knack for subterfuge improves, giving you
new ways to cast your spells. As an action, you can cause one
of the cards in your hand to lay flat against the floor or a solid
surface. When placed this way, the card is slightly obscured,
requiring an Investigation check against your spell save DC to
see.
When a creature other than you moves within 5 feet of the
space the card was placed in, the spell card releases a burst
of magic. If the spell card you placed was an Illusion spell, it
triggers the spell as if you cast it centered on that point
before returning to your hand, ready to be cast again.
If the spell card you placed is not an Illusion spell, it
detonates with a burst of light and sound before being
discarded from your hand. Choose an effect below; the
triggering creature must make a saving throw against your
spell save DC based on the choice made. On a failed save, the
creature suffers the resulting condition until the end of its
next turn.

A human checks the weaponry in her hands and strapped to

She strides forward purposefully, taking shot after shot as

quiet breath in... and pulls the trigger.
A band of orcs surround a tiefling and her friends, their
weapons drawn. They jeer at the group, claiming their
superiority in numbers and in firepower. Undeterred, the

 Firearm Maintenance
A gunslinger's firearm is as much a part of them as their own
arms and legs. Failure to clean and maintain your weapon is
tactically disadvantageous - akin to being caught unwashed or
unclothed.
At 2nd level, you gain proficiency with tinker's tools. You
may use them during a long rest to perform routine
maintenance on a single firearm you possess. If you do so,
you may apply a +1 bonus to each attack roll you make with
that weapon, until it needs to be reloaded. If you do not use
that firearm before your next short or long rest, the benefit is
wasted.
Gun Tactics
At 2nd level, choose a gun tactic as detailed below. You can’t
take a gun tactic more than once, even if you get the option to
choose again.
Akimbo Shooting
When wielding two light firearms, you can add your ability
score modifier to the damage of the second attack. You can
reload both light firearms at once using a bonus action.
Breacher
When you make an attack with a firearm at a creature within
15 feet of you and you roll a 1 or 2 on the damage die, you
can reroll the damage die and must take the new roll, even if
the number is a 1 or a 2. The firearm must have the scatter
property for you to gain this benefit.
Gun Duelist
When wielding a sidearm in one hand and no other weapons,
you get a +2 bonus to your damage rolls with these weapons.
Longshot
If you make an attack with a two-handed firearm beyond 30
feet, you get a +2 bonus to damage rolls. The firearm cannot
have the scatter property in order to gain this benefit.
Riflery
When wielding a two-handed firearm without the bulky or
scatter property, you get a +2 to attack rolls.
Shield Shooting
You can now wield a two-handed firearm with a shield, but
must brace it against the shield as a bonus action to fire it.
Loadout
At 3rd level, you choose a loadout - a name representing the
firearms and techniques you are the most proficient with. You
can choose from the Enforcer, Marksman, and Spellshot
loadouts. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and
again at 5th, 10th, 13th, and 17th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th,
16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of
your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of
your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability
score above 20 using this feature.
24
Slinger's Sense
Beginning at 7th level, your senses and reflexes have become
more acute. You can take a bonus action on each of your
turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the
Dodge, Hide, or Search action.
Clean and Ready
At 9th level, you have become so intimately familiar with your
weapon that taking it apart and putting it back together is
second nature. You can perform maintenance on a single
firearm as described in the Firearm Maintenance feature
over the course of a short rest, or perform the maintenance
on multiple firearms you own over the course of a long rest.
You can work on a number of firearms equal to your
Dexterity or Wisdom modifier (minimum 2).
Feeling Lucky, Punk?
At 11th level, your attachment to your weapons of choice
borders on unsettling. When you gain this feature, choose
either Insight, Intimidation, or Persuasion. Whenever you
make a check with the chosen skill, you may add your
proficiency bonus to the check if you are not doing so already,
provided you are holding your firearm at the time you make
the check.
Weakness Sense
At 15th level, you can use your bonus action to make a
Wisdom (Perception) check against a creature you can see
within the normal range of your firearm. This check is
contested by the target's Armor Class.
On a successful check, you discover a flaw in the target's
defenses, small enough to go unnoticed to all but your sharp
senses. Until the end of your turn, attacks you make against
that target ignore resistance to bludgeoning and piercing
damage.
Nowhere to Run
When you reach 18th level, hitting stationary targets is as
easy as breathing. When you target a creature with a ranged
weapon attack, if that creature did not move more than 5 feet
during its previous turn, you have advantage on the attack
roll.
Over My Dead Body
At 20th level, you are so blindingly fast that no one can
outdraw or outshoot you. When combat starts, as long as you
are not surprised, you can draw a firearm and make a single
weapon attack with it before anyone else even rolls initiative.
If you are a marksman, you can instead use this action to
enter overwatch; if you are a spellshot, you may make a spell
bullet attack with a cantrip you know instead. After this action
has been taken, initiative is rolled and combat continues.

Loadout
A gunslinger is typically a good shot with just about any
firearm. However, every gunslinger has their own preferred
specialization that lends itself to what they are best at. Some
gunslingers are best in the middle of the fray, applying their
combat expertise with their weapons to neutralize a group of
defenders. Others prefer to stay out of the action - far, far
away, where they can calmly calculate their shot before
taking it. Still others combine their gunslinging with specially
crafted firearms and rounds, dramatically boosting their own
potency.
Each "loadout" represents one of these specializations,
from their preferred type of firearm, to the skills and abilities
that set them apart from other gunslingers.
Enforcer
This particular specialization is the type to face down a cadre
of incoming attackers and come out on top, specializing in
the use of pistols, shotguns, and other weapons that work
best at short-to-medium range. Despite its moniker, the
enforcer does not utilize excessive force, instead relying on
precise positioning and tactical takedowns to defeat foes as
they come. Watching an enforcer do his work is like watching
an elegant dance of death, and some of the best have elevated
themselves to legend on their skill alone.
Keep Your Enemies Close
At 3rd level when you choose this loadout, you are just as
potent with your firearms at close range as you are at a
distance. You no longer have disadvantage when making an
attack with a firearm against a hostile creature within 5 feet
of you.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
If before making the second attack you need to reload your
weapon, you may reload your weapon as part of that second
attack.
Gun Fu
At 10th level, your movements are direct and precise, letting
you easily adapt to the flow of battle. Whenever you make a
successful ranged attack with a firearm, choose one of the
following:
You may move up to 10 feet without provoking attacks of
opportunity, as long as you start and end the movement in
a space where there are still enemies within the normal
range of the firearm you are using, or if you end the
movement in a space where you have at least half cover.
You get a +1 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn.
The next attack you make this turn is made with
advantage, as long as the target of your attack is a
different hostile creature within 5 feet of you.
Extra Attack (2)
Beginning at 13th level, you can attack three times when you
take the Attack action on your turn. You may reload your
weapon as part of the second attack or the third attack if you
need to do so.
Decisive Strike
At 17th level, you have mastered the art of subduing your
opponents with your overwhelming speed and precise shots
to vital areas. After making three attacks with the Attack
action, you may use your bonus action to make a fourth
attack, as long as the following criteria are met:
All three of the attacks you made with the Attack action
were against the same target.
The target is within 10 feet of you.
All three of the attacks hit their target, or at least one of
them was a critical hit.
At least one of the attacks you made with the Attack action
was made with a firearm.
This fourth attack must be made against the same target,
using a firearm you wield. It is made with advantage.
Marksman
This loadout represents a gunslinger who excels with high-
powered rifles at long distances, striking their target
undetected. The marksman is patient and careful, lying in
wait for the perfect moment to take the shot. From a support
standpoint, they can provide covering fire, holding enemies at
bay for enforcers or other combatants to take care of the dirty
work.
The marksman's patient philosophy also shows itself in
their equipment. Given time, they are able to create devices
to improve their effectiveness, often times completely from
scratch.
I Can See You
At 3rd level, your have honed the technique required to
improve your efficacy when operating firearms at long
distances. Whenever you wield a longarm, you may add 50
feet to its normal and maximum range.
Lesser Overwatch
At 5th level, your reflexes have improved significantly. You
may make an opportunity attack against a creature that you
can see within your firearm's normal range, using your
reaction as normal. This attack may be made against any
creature that moves into or out of your firearm's range, or
makes an attack while within that range.
Tools of the Trade
When you reach 10th level, at the end of any short or long
rest, you can create one of these three temporary items to
assist you. The item breaks down at the end of your next
short or long rest.
Ghillie Suit. You create a suit, made up of materials from
the surrounding environment, that obscures your
presence. While wearing the suit and moving no more
than half your speed, creatures have disadvantage on their
Wisdom (Perception) checks to see you, and you have
advantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks to remain
hidden.
Advanced Silencer. The device you create magically
muffles the next three shots you take with your firearm.
When an enemy is hit by a bullet fired while the silencer is
active, it can use its reaction to make a Wisdom
(Perception) check, contested by your Dexterity (Stealth)
to try to see you; otherwise, you remain hidden.
25
 Bullet With Your Name. You can prepare a number of
rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier, imbuing them
with the power required to dispatch a specific target.
Choose a specific creature or group of creatures — i.e.
"Thomas Greensleeves", "the bulette that we are hunting",
"the ghouls in the graveyard". If one of these special
bullets is used in a successful attack against the named
target, the damage is considered magical for the purpose
of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical
attacks and damage. Additionally, on a successful hit, you
may roll the damage for the attack twice, taking either
result.
Eagle Eyes
By the time you reach 13th level, your skills at picking off
targets at long range have improved to a supernatural level.
Whenever you wield a longarm, you may add 50 feet to its
normal and maximum range. This is in addition to the 50 feet
of range granted by the I Can See You class feature.
Greater Overwatch
At 17th level, you showcase your abilities best when picking
off targets at long range. You may use your action to lie in
wait, entering the Overwatch state. While in this state, you
have a number of reactions equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minimum 1), instead of the usual one. While in Overwatch,
you can use a reaction to make an opportunity attack against
a creature who moves more than 10 feet, makes an attack
roll, or casts a spell within your firearm's maximum range.
While in Overwatch, your reactions cannot be used for
anything except making one of these special opportunity
attacks.
Additionally, if an enemy is hit by an overwatch attack, it
suffers the following penalties in addition to the ones
normally suffered:
If a creature is moving, its speed drops to 0 and it can't
take reactions until the end of your next turn.
If a creature is making an attack roll as a result of a
weapon attack, the attack is made at disadvantage.
If a creature is casting a spell, it must make a DC 10
Constitution saving throw, as if concentrating on a spell. If
it fails the save, the spell fails and has no effect.
26
Spellshot
This specialization represents the gunslinger who does not
wish to stick to lead and steel. This is a magical world, right?
Why not make use of it?
The spellshot reinforces her weapon or weapons of choice
with magic, allowing her to utilize specially crafted rounds
known as spell bullets. Created as a result of a special
magical ritual, these bullets concentrate arcane energy that is
released on impact.
Usually, spell bullets are fired from revolvers or other
smaller, handheld firearms; however, a spellshot who fires
rounds from a distance with a rifle can be just as effective, if
not more so. Spellshots can take on a support role in a party,
especially as the number of spells they can forge into bullets
increases, but most find themselves blasting away enemies
with powerful evocation magic.
Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level and choose this loadout, you learn
how to augment your gunslinging with magical bullets. In
doing so, you learn spells from the wizard spell list. However,
your method of casting these spells is far from conventional,

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips from the wizard spell list.
You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 9th
level, and another at 17th level. When casting a wizard
cantrip you know, you can either cast it normally or utilize
your gun, as explained in the Arcane Armament feature.
Preparing Spell Bullets. Instead of casting spells
normally, you instead know a ritual that takes spells you
know and infuses them into special metal casings known as
spell bullets. This ritual requires two hours out of a long rest.
If you have any expended spell slots or unused spell bullets
before you begin the ritual, you regain those spell slots, and
your unused spell bullets lose their magic and become
mundane rounds.
The Spellshot Spellcasting table shows how many spell
slots you can expend during the ritual to infuse spells into
spell bullets.

27
 If the spell creates an area of effect, you can choose a
point on the ground, wall, or other solid surface within the
range of your arcane armament to make the spell bullet
attack against. In this case, the spell bullet attack
automatically succeeds, and the spell effect originates
from that point.
As an alternative to casting a wizard cantrip you know
normally, you may cast it as if it were a spell bullet attack,
without expending any ammunition. If you choose to do so, it
follows the same rules as detailed above.
Explosive Transmutations
At 5th level, you can alter the properties of normally harmless
spells cast into your spell bullets. If you create a spell bullet
for a transmutation spell that subjects one or more creatures
to an effect that does not deal damage (such as the flash of a
pyrotechnics spell, the reduction effect of enlarge/reduce, or
the binding energy of earthbind), you can choose to have that
spell bullet deal damage to one of those creatures.
In addition to its normal effects, the spell now deals 2d6
force damage, plus an additional 1d6 damage for each level
of the spell beyond 1st level. If the spell already requires a
saving throw, this damage is halved on a successful save.
Otherwise, the creature can make a Constitution saving
throw to attempt to reduce this damage, taking half damage
on a success.
Flexible Preparation
By the time you reach 10th level, your familiarity with the
ritual used to create your arcane ammunition has given you
the confidence to experiment with it. When you prepare a
spell bullet with a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning,
necrotic, radiant, or thunder damage, you can substitute that
damage with another damage type from this list, altering the
spell's properties before you infuse it into the bullet.
Additionally, when you prepare a spell bullet with a spell
that would require a Dexterity, Constitution, or Wisdom
saving throw, you may choose to change that saving throw to
another one from this list, altering the spell before infusing it
into the bullet. This change requires expending a spell slot
one level higher than usual, but does not increase the spell
level of the infused spell.
Broadened Horizons
At 13th level, you begin to see how you can adapt the
spellwork of other classes to infuse them into your spell
bullets. When you learn new spells as a spellshot, you may
now choose the spell from the cleric, paladin, ranger, or
wizard spell list. The spell must still be an evocation or
transmutation spell. Once learned, it counts as a wizard spell
for you, even if it is not on the wizard spell list.
You also have a new option for using your spell bullets. If a
spell infused in a spell bullet would create a persistent effect,
such as that of spiritual weapon or continual flame, you may
activate the spell within it either by loading and firing it or by
pressing it against the ground or an appropriate object. In
either case, the spell bullet is expended like a regular round.
28
The Big Kaboom
At 17th level, you can use your action to overload your arcane
armament, preparing to unleash a powerful blast of force.
When you do this, your action on your next turn must be used
to fire the charged energy, making a spell bullet attack
against against a point on a solid surface within your arcane
armament's maximum range. This special attack expends a
spell bullet as normal.
At the chosen point, a gigantic burst of energy surges forth,
filling a 20-foot radius sphere. Simultaneously, a shockwave
of thundrous power erupts from the same point, out to 40
feet.
The energy blast spreads around corners to fill the area, as
with the fireball spell. Each creature and object caught in the
20-foot radius of the energy blast must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 8d6 fire and
6d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a
success.
Each creature in the 40-foot radius of the shockwave is
rocked by the powerful force, requiring them to make a
Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a
failed save, a creature takes 4d6 thunder and 2d6 force
damage; on a success, it takes half as much damage.
The surface struck also is affected by the cataclysmic force
of the attack, instantly vaporizing the material and leaving
behind a spherical crater or hole up to 20 feet deep and 20
feet wide.
If you start to use this feature and overload your arcane
armament, but then fail to use your next action to fire the
charged energy, your arcane armament explodes at the end of
your turn, destroying it utterly. This causes the energy burst
effect described above to occur, but with you as its center.
If you use this feature more than once before the next time
you take a long rest, you must spend at least four hours of
that rest to repair your arcane armament or apply
modifications to a new firearm. This forces you to forego the
benefits of a long rest, gaining the benefits of a short rest
instead.
 
Altering Spell Examples
While the Flexible Preparation feature offers
increased versatility, at the table its effects can be
difficult to spot by the other players. If you're
playing a spellshooter, take a moment to describe
how you alter your spells. For example, if you
altered the burning hands spell to deal thunder
damage instead of fire, perhaps it creates a wide,
pulsating shockwave. As another example, a blight
spell set for cold damage may cause sharp shards
of ice to crystallize in the target.
By that same token, feel free to explain why your
modified spells require a different save than usual.
Perhaps a fireball that requires a Wisdom save is all
in the mind, affecting the creatures without truly
existing.

Barbarians, due to their primal nature and general lack of
formal weapons training, do not start with proficiency in
firearms unless already given from another class, feat or
special training.
Bard

Backgrounds
When included, backgrounds help you create a more
believable character. Work with your DM to determine an
appropriate background for your character.
Background: Doctor
Whether you were a tribal witch-doctor, a medicine-man, a
holy healer, a military field medic, or a genuine medical
professional from an unusually enlightened society, you
specialize in the treatment of suffering. You have seen injury,
disease, poison, and death, and still you have defied it all,
fighting to save every last soul.
As a medical professional, you have sworn the Hippocratic
oath and do your best to adhere to its tenets. In so swearing,
you have pledged your life to protect life, that all who suffer
are your patient, to support other doctors as family, to train
any who swear the oath, to practice to the best of your ability,
to always improve upon the art, to practice only your
specialization, to practice not for your own gain, to practice
within the law, and to keep all of your patients' secrets.
Why did you turn away from the medical profession? Or if
you haven't, what was it that drew you into the life of the
adventurer? What do you think of the oath, or other doctors?
Specialist
Each doctor must choose a field of specialization to practice
within the broader art of medicine.
d6 Specialization
1 Diagnostics
2 Apothecary
3 Surgery
4 Bone Setting
5 Therapy
6 Research
Skill Proficiencies: Medicine, Investigation
Tool Proficiencies: Medicine Kit
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: Doctor's Tools, 2-man tent, bedroll, blanket,
Book (About anatomy, disease, apothecary, or surgery),
common clothes, five bars of soap, a belt pouch containing
5 gp.
Feature: Burden of Life
Due to your vow, you are expected to cure the ill, regardless
of morals or prejudice, even if they are your enemy. Likewise,
it is considered a horrid evil to intentionally kill a doctor for
no reason. As such, intelligent enemies are less likely to
target you, provided they are not overwhelmingly evil or lack
a code of honor. Your patients who are enemies will even stay
their hand, not attacking you directly while they are under
your care. Though... who's to say what happens after they
leave your care?
Restored individuals may be grateful, or feel some form of
life-debt to you. Enemies may repay you by specifically
choosing not to kill you, or they may give free information; a
scout you once saved may turn a blind eye to your presence.
Provided you stay true to your vow as best as you can, you
can make use of any hospital or medical facility - typically
located in churches, noble estates, universities, and other
places of higher learning - as temporary residence for
yourself, your patient or patients, and your companions if
there is room for them. Doctors will put you up at a lifestyle
one step below their own if you can maintain a good
relationship with them.
However, if ever you are proven to have broken your vow,
you will be fully and publicly discredited as a doctor, and
other doctors who pay attention to medical society will
recognize you as such. You and all who are with you will be
turned away from mundane medicine and the places it is
provided. Because you swore on your life, breaking your vow
is akin to a personal death sentence, though no doctor true to
his vows is free to exact it upon you. Even so, more
enlightened nations are likely to have laws regarding the
treatment of doctors and their vows... and enlightened does
not necessarily mean "kind" or "gentle".
Suggested Characteristics
Doctors may come from many walks of life, but all became
enrolled in some place of higher learning, or at least were
tutored by a renowned doctor, eventually swearing the
Hippocratic oath - and that oath is not a light load to bear.
Doctors often show their true colors under extreme stress,
whether it makes them more studious, intense, and
passionate, or clinical, intellectual, and unusually calm.
Many are troubled by harrowing events they bore witness
to. Some are shockingly pragmatic, with an "it may not be
pretty, but you'll live" approach to problems. Many are
seemingly tireless, hard-working individuals. Some can be
inspiring souls, with a deep appreciation not only for life
itself, but for the people they keep alive as well. There is much
debate among doctors as to just what the oath means, and
what tenets have priority in any given situation.
 d8  Personality Trait
1 All I think about is saving lives, or I dwell on lives that
have been lost that I could have saved.
2 I practice in the name of my religion, nation, or clan.
3 I am cold and calculating in my every word and
action, even when furious or frightened.
4 When the bodies hit the floor, my hands go into
autopilot.
5 I consider magical healers and healing either to be
cheating and unaccountable, or an integral future
counterpart of a greater medical art.
6 I am waging a personal war on death itself.
7 I am entranced and inspired by the brilliance and
glory of the living body.
8 I am actively involved in the medical society and
engage in theoretical discourse and debate.
35
  d6  Ideal
1 Life. I was put in this world to protect and save life.
(Good)
2 Oath. I swore my oath, and now I must live by its
tenets. (Lawful)
3 Vigilantism. No man can dictate who shall die, when,
or how! (Chaotic)
4 Profit. Is it really too much to ask that all who come
to me suffering also come bearing compensation?
(Evil)
5 Survival. We are all in this together, for better or for
worse. (Neutral)
6 Right. Everyone deserves to live. (Neutral)
 d6  Bond
1 I owe everything to my home village/clan, for pooling
their resources to have me educated.
2 I was pushed, or encouraged, into the field by my
parents, one of whom may have been a doctor.
3 My professor is the most important person in the
world to me.
4 My patients are my everything- losing one of them is
like dying, but it never ends.
5 I took up the profession because someone close to
me died of something treatable.
6 I started my training alone from texts I obtained by
my own means.
36
 d6  Flaw
1 I took the vow not realizing its full implications.
2 No one can know that I have broken my vow.
3 I feel contempt for many of my patients.
4 I think I am better than other doctors, and other
people in general.
5 Sometimes I go too far in my search for knowledge.
6 I am frightened/sickened by human suffering.
Variant Doctor: Veterinarian
Your specialization and training still stand, but instead of
treating people, your art is focused on our fuzzy friends.
Exchange Investigation for Animal Handling or Nature.
Animals who have been healed do not behave the same
way people do. Some more intelligent creatures, such as
wolves, may be capable of feeling gratitude, but have limited
ability to express such. Monsters however, true to their name,
are usually incapable of such emotion and will likely just
attack the moment they recover. Other doctors may not take
you as seriously as you deserve, but anyone who has an
important animal, such as a knight's steed or a caster's
familiar, will have deep respect for you, for even
acknowledging that their animal is worth saving.

Background: Law Enforcement:
As a child, you dreamed of serving your city with pride and
protecting it from evil and injustice. When you were old
enough, you headed to your recruiting station to begin the
training to become a member of law enforcement. This
background is suitable for uniformed police, military or
federal police, government agents, and special forces.
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Insight
Additional Proficiency: Sidearms
Languages: One additional language of your choice
Equiptment: Light pistol, two full magazines, and a police
uniform
Feature: Civil Ranking
Being a officer of the law, you gain privileges suitable to your
station. If you are within the city that you served in, patrol  
officers are likely to follow your orders, within logical reason.
Outside of your jurisdiction, you have advantage on
Charisma (Persuasion) checks and Charisma saving throws
(again, within reason) against law enforcement of equal or
lesser rank. You must show your badge, thus identifying
yourself as a member of law enforcement, to use this feature.
When choosing this background, roll a d6, or choose a rank
from 1-6 from the options below. Players cannot begin at a
rank of 7 or higher. Rankings are as follows:
Rank 10: Chief of Police, Superintendent, Director, or
Commissioner
Rank 9: Deputy/Assistant Chief, Superintendent, Director
or Commissioner
Rank 8: Major
Rank 7: Captain or Commander  
Rank 6: Lieutenant
Rank 5: Staff Sergeant, Sergeant First Class, First
Sergeant, Master Sergeant, or Sergeant Major

2 I am the law. I get to say who walks free.
3 I look for clues and try my best to get the crook.

keeping them safe.
5 I never trust a criminal. Ever.
6 I enjoy a good chase. My heart beating, my legs
pumping... It's what I live for.
7 If I'm paid, I'm happy. It doesn't matter who paid me.
8 I will give everything I have to save my people,
including my life.
d6  Ideal
1 Truth. The duty of law enforcement is to seek and lay
bare the truth. (Any)
2 Justice. I won't sleep until I catch every dirty criminal I
see. (Lawful)
3 Law. What good is the law if it isn't followed? (Good)
4 Glory. I want money and fame more than anything,
even if I have to get my hands dirty. (Evil)
5 Merciless. I don't care about the means; as long as the
criminal is behind bars it's okay with me. (Chaotic)
6 Aspiration. I want to follow in the footsteps of the
officer who saved my life. I'll do anything to be like
them. (Any)
d6  Bond
1 I work to put food on the table and I will work extra
just to make sure I do.
2 I truly enjoy being a part of the justice system.
3 These people are my purpose. I can't save them I've
failed them.
4 This is just one way that I show my deep devotion to
the god I worship.
5 I owe my life to a rookie or officer.
6 I am always on the hunt for a promotion.
d6  Flaw

4 I have trouble following orders from my superiors.
5 I put too much trust in my fellow officers even dirty
ones.
6 I don't make mistakes, I just do things differently.
37

Background: Mercenary
As a mercenary your services were for hire to anyone who
could afford you. What drove you to be a soldier of fortune?
Was it to escape poverty? Was it the thrill of battle? Or was it
simply that fighting was all you knew growing up?
Who was your battle company, or did you work alone?
What made you give it up... or are you still for hire? Did you
make any allies or enemies along the way? What wars or
battles were you involved in? What were the consequences?
Lost allies? War crime charges?
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Perception
Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, Vehicles (land)
Equipment: Proof of the first contract you completed, a set of
common clothes, one gaming set of choice, a belt pouch
containing 10 gp  
Feature: Hired Blade
You are a soldier of fortune, a fighter who sells his services to
the highest bidder. You roam towns and cities in search of a
place where your unique set of talents are useful; whether for
a lord hunting a group of bandits, or a local barkeep tired of
the goblin infestation in his cellar, you can always find some
work if you look hard enough. The job itself doesn't matter, so
long as you get paid - at least, that's what people tend to
think. Sometimes, the jobs you find tend to be of the seedier
sort, giving you the choice and the problem of figuring a way
to compromise between your ethics and your job.
Suggested Characteristics
You are a mercenary who hunted down your employers'
enemies for coin. Were you happy in this life? What made you  
leave it behind to become an adventurer? Did you leave it at
all, or is adventuring just another way of putting food on the
table?
 d8  Personality Trait
1 I like to show off, particularly if there's a chance at
another job.
2 I am always gregarious and cheerful, no matter the
situation, as long as my pockets are full.
3 To me, the whisper of steel and the clash of weapons
is just as pleasing as any amount of gold.
4 I always train because training leaves the body ready,
even in a moment of respite or weakness.
5 I hold myself to a strict code of ideals.
6 I keep my personal possessions in secret places
which known only to me.
7 I take special care to protect my weapons and armor,
for I know they will protect me in return.
8 I refuse to lift a finger until I hear the jingling sound
of coins.
38
 d6  Ideal
1 Golden Pockets. I fight for money, and nothing else.
(Neutral)
2 Great Publicity. I will be known for my deeds, sooner
rather than later. (Any)
3 Power or Death. In my line of profession, the strong
live and the weak starve. (Evil)
4 Honorbound. I never break my promises. Ever.
(Lawful)
5 War and Crime. Whenever chaos flourishes, so too
does my work. (Chaotic)
6 Vigilante. I am a sellsword who swings his weapon
only against those who deserve it. (Good)
d6  Bond
1 I became a mercenary to support my family, who
would have probably starved in a slum somewhere if
not for me.
2 I fight for a lover that knows little if not nothing of
me.
3 I was inspired by a great hero to become a mercenary.
4 I treat my valued comrades like brothers, and I will let
no insult or injury fall upon them.
5 I am protecting something of great importance to me
by keeping it a secret... so you'd better forget what
you just heard.
6 I never disrespect an employer, as long as they never
disrespect me or stop giving me money.
d6  Flaw
1 I'll do anything for coin, damn the consequences.
2 As much as I pretend to love fighting, I secretly hate
hurting others.
3 I have crippling debts that my work barely pays off.
4 I never fail at my tasks, even if I have to resort to less
honourable means to complete them.
5 I would send an innocent to face his death if it means
I will win the fight.
6 Someone powerful will do anything to have my head,
so I seek to take his or her head first.

Background: Merchant
Whether you spent a few years as an apprentice or you were

5 Seeing the world is as valuable as gold, I must see it
all.
6 My culture and my past keep me on the road, always
looking for the next sale.
d6  Flaw
1 The only thing I trust is gold.
2 No amount of gold is worth my life, I will run when in
danger.
3 Making a profit is more important than honesty or
integrity.
4 People's feelings mean little to me, they are worth
only as much as the gold in their pockets.
5 The mere mention of gold throws all my judgement
out the window.
6 If there's a bet, then I'm in. All in. Double or nothing.
Don't tell me the odds, just roll the dice!

 Background: Philosopher
By u/Ezfi
You have dedicated yourself to the pursuit of answers to life's
most difficult questions, ones of existence, morality and
meaning, and you have made a name for yourself doing so.
Perhaps you were privileged and classically trained,
inheriting your theories from the world's greatest minds and
making them your own. Or maybe you started the quest for
truth from nothing, forming your philosophy by debating with
any friend or stranger who would entertain you, and your
conclusions have only recently received wide attention and
acclaim. After spending a lifetime in the realm of thought, it
may be surprising to see you pursue the active and practical
life of an adventurer.
Skill Proficiencies: History, Insight
Languages: Two of your choice
Equipment: A book of your thoughts, a quill, a jar of black
ink, an small trinket that once gave you a philosophical
revelation, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch
containing 10 gp.
Feature: Debate Ethics
Among those who study philosophy, including cultured
nobles, academics and other philosophers, there is a chance
that at least some of them have heard of your work. Those
who respect philosophy will assume you to be a reasonably
wise and intelligent person, and they will be more likely to
listen to your advice. Using your reputation and experience in
debate, you may be able to convince these people that an act
which seems evil, wrong, or morally questionable at first
glance is, in fact, perfectly fine. While they are not guaranteed
to agree with you, they are more likely to give your arguments
serious consideration.
40
Philosophies
 d20  Philosophy
1 Solipsism. Knowledge of anything outside one’s
own specific mind is unjustified. The external
world and other minds cannot be known and might
not exist.
2 Determinism. Every event, including thoughts and
behavior, decision and action, is determined by an
unbroken chain of prior occurrences.
3 Utilitarianism. The moral worth of an action is solely
determined by its contribution to overall utility,
that is, what creates the most net happiness.
4 Hedonism. Pleasure is the only intrinsic good.
Actions can be evaluated in terms of how much
pleasure they produce.
5 Positivism. Knowledge can only come from positive
affirmation through a strict scientific method.
6 Absurdism. Any effort to find meaning in the
universe will ultimately fail (and, hence, is absurd)
because no such meaning exists.
7 Objectivism. Certain acts are objectively right or
wrong.
8 Relativism. No belief can have absolute truth,
having value only within a certain context or frame
of reference.
9 Nihilism. Life is without objective meaning,
purpose, value or truth.
10 Existentialism. All philosophical thought must
begin with the experiences of the individual, and it
is up to them to give meaning to their own
existence.
11 Rationalism. The criterion of the truth is not
sensory, but intellectual and deductive.
12 Stoicism. Emotional and physical self-control leads
to inner peace and strength, allowing one to live a
happier life.
13 Aestheticism. Our main efforts in life should be on
creating and enjoying beauty, in all of its forms.
14 Collectivism. The greater good is more important
than any individual.
15 Egalitarianism. All individuals should be treated as
equals.
16 Constructivism. Reality, and the methods we use to
understand it, are subjective constructions rather
than an objective reading of events.
17 Naturalism. The supernatural and the natural are
indistinguishable and can be studied with the same
methods.
18 Finalism. Any event is defined by a pre-set final
outcome, and all events leading up to the outcome
are shaped by it.
19 Cynicism. Selfless qualities like altruism, honest and
virtue do not exist. People are only driven by self-
interest.
20 I haven't settled on a philosophy.

Personal Philosophy
After spending a lifetime asking and pondering, you have
developed a personal philosophical stance. Choose one from
the Philosophies table or roll on it to determine what your
character is mainly focused on.
Suggested Characteristics
Philosophers are highly concerned with thoughts, theories,
and abstract concepts, and tend to view the world in a way
that is tinted by this fixation. They may embrace the world
around them as a fascinating manifestation of the universe's
inner workings, or they may shun it in favor of their internal
experience.
 d8  Personality Trait
1 I never stop asking questions. Ever.
2 I am absent minded and easily distracted.
3 I spend several hours each day in quiet introspection.
4 I love seeing how other respond to paradoxes and

 Averer's Awakening
7th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 8 hours
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a precious gem worth 5000 gp, that
the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
After spending the casting time tracing magical pathways
within a precious gemstone, you touch a construct or plant
that is Huge or smaller. The target must have either no
Intelligence score or an Intelligence of 4 or less. The target
gains an Intelligence of 10. The target also gains the ability to
speak one language you know of your choosing. If the target
is a plant, it gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines,
creepers, and so forth, and it gains senses similar to a
human's. Your GM chooses statistics appropriate for the
awakened plant, such as the statistics for the awakened
shrub, the awakened tree or grove guardian.
The awakened construct or plant retains the loyalties it
held before awakening, but is now more capable of following
orders or making its own decisions. If the construct or plant
is already under the influence of an enemy, awakening it does
not change its predilection towards you or your allies, and it
may act in a hostile manner.
Baleful Eversion
4th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a wishbone)
Duration: Instantaneous
With a burst of transforming energy and a squelch of blood,
you turn a creature you can see within range inside out, then
immediately back to its previous form. The sudden inversion
of their body is painful and disorienting, but causes no lasting
damage.
The creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, it takes 6d8 necrotic damage and becomes
stunned until the start of its next turn. On a success, it takes
half as much damage on a success and isn't stunned.
Barlow's Warning Shot
1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: M (a spent shell casing)
Duration: Instantaneous
A creature within range suddenly hears a gunshot whiz just
overhead, compelling it to get out of the way for its own
safety. The creature must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or
immediately use its reaction to fall prone. A creature that has
already used its reaction or cannot take its reaction is
unaffected by this spell.
46
Black Bullet
Necromancy cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You conjure and fire a tiny, black orb that clings to its target
like a leech, draining some of its vital force. As part of the
action used to cast this spell, you must make a ranged attack
with a firearm within the spell's range, otherwise the spell
fails. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 necrotic damage, and the
bullet clings to the target's body until it can be removed.
If a bullet is attached to a creature, it takes 1d4 necrotic
damage at the start of each of its turns. Any creature can
remove a bullet attached to a creature by spending its action
to do so; alternatively, a target affected by a bullet can cause it
to wither away by succeeding a Constitution saving throw at
the end of its turn.
This spell's damage on subsequent turns increases by 1d4
when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th
level (4d4).
Blood-Lightning Bullet
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (a firearm)
Duration: Instantaneous
As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a
ranged attack with a firearm against one creature within the
spell's range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target
suffers the attack's normal effects, and blood-red lightning
leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice
that you can see within 5 feet of it. The second creature takes
lightning damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
This spell's damage increases when you reach higher
levels. At 5th level, the ammunition deals an extra 1d8
lightning damage to the target, and the lightning damage to
the second creature increases to 1d8 + your spellcasting
ability modifier. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th
level and 17th level.
Bubble Shield
4th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (5-foot radius)
Components: M (an iron bowl, a leather strap from a shield)
Duration: 1 minute
You create a static, impenetrable shield in a 5-foot radius
around yourself for the duration of the spell. Any creatures
can enter and exit the shield freely.
Attacks, spells, and damaging effects originating from
outside of the shield cannot affect anything inside the shield,
as they either bounce off of it or are harmlessly deflected
away. By the same token, creatures outside of the shield
cannot target anything inside the shield with an attack, spell,
or ability.
The same is true for attacks, spells, abilities, and effects
within the shield attempting to target or affect anything
outside of it.
Card Throw Conjure Firing Squad
Conjuration cantrip 5th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S Components: S, M (any piece of nonmagical ammunition)
Duration: Instantaneous Duration: Instantaneous
You conjure and then throw a magical card that is filled You place a piece of ammunition on the ground, pointing it
with energy. Roll a d6 to determine the color of the card, then towards an enemy. As you do, a number of vaguely humanoid

On a roll of 1-5, the amount of damage the target takes is
equal to 1d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. On a roll of Conjure Flak Jacket

used to stoke the fire of a steam engine, the required amount
appears in clean, organized stacks. If the vehicle's fuel source
is nonmaterial or magical in nature, such as a battery, this
spell simply recharges that fuel source.

47
 Cryobomb
8th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a piece of dry ice and silver powder
worth 25 sp)
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
A glowing bead of ice forms from your finger and shoots out
to a point within range, where it remains and grows colder
for the duration. When the spell ends, either because your
concentration is broken or because you decide to end it on
your turn, the bead breaks apart and lets out an ice storm
that flash freezes anything near it and spreads around
corners. Each creature within a 20-foot radius sphere
centered on the point must succeed a Constitution saving
throw. A creature takes cold damage equal to the
accumulated damage and is paralyzed for a number of
rounds equal to the accumulated number on a failed save. If a
creature succeeds the save, it takes half as much damage and
is not paralyzed. A creature can remake the Constitution
saving throw at the end of each of its subsequent turns in
order to end the paralysis.
This spell's base damage is 8d6 and its base paralysis time
is 1 round. If at the end of your turn the bead has not yet
detonated, the damage increases by 1d6 and the paralysis
increases by 1 round.
If the glowing bead is touched before the interval has
expired, the creature touching it must make a Dexterity
saving throw. On a failed save, the spell ends immediately,
causing the bead to explode in a freezing storm of ice. On a
successful save, the creature can throw the bead up to 40
feet. When it strikes a creature or a solid object, the spell
ends, and the bead explodes. The cold freezes objects in the
area and puts out nonmagical flames.
Cryostasis
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a drop of water and fine dust)
Duration: Instantaneous
You choose one creature within range. You close your fist and
flash freeze the air around them in an attempt to lock their
joints up and freeze them in place. The creature must
succeed a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes
2d6 cold damage and has its movement speed reduced to 0
for 1 minute. At the end of each of its subsequent turns, the
creature can remake the saving throw in order to end the
spell's effects on itself.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 2nd.
48
Daring Ditty
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when an ally
makes a saving throw
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, M (a musical instrument or speaking cone)
Duration: Instantaneous
You play or sing a quick little ditty for a single ally you can see
within range. This spell appears to be nothing more than a
song unless a creature that can hear it makes a Wisdom
(Perception) check against your spell save DC to recognize
otherwise.
When your ally hears the song, they are uplifted by the
magical music. You can roll a Charisma saving throw, using
your bonus to the save, and use the result in place of an ally's
saving throw to escape the effect of a spell. If an enemy
recognized the song as magical with a successful Perception
check, you have disadvantage on this roll.
Your ally must be able to hear you to receive the benefit of
this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell affects one additional ally
for each slot level above 1st. When you do, you make one
Charisma saving throw and use it for all creatures affected by
this spell.
Echolocate
1st-level divination
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot-radius sphere)
Components: S, M (the preserved vocal cords of a bat)
Duration: Instantaneous
A harmless wave of energy pulses outwards from your
location out to 10 feet. The wave traces across the floor and
stops when it hits a solid obstacle or a creature, bouncing
back to you and revealing the precise location of the obstacle.
Since the wave bounces off of solid objects and doesn't go
around corners, creatures behind cover remain undetected
by this spell. Invisible objects and creatures, however, are
detected. Though they still remain invisible, your knowledge
of their position provides enough help that the next melee
attack made by you or one of your allies against that creature
does not need to be made at disadvantage. This benefit is lost
at the start of the invisible creature's next turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius of the sphere increases
by 5 feet per slot level above 1st. When you cast this spell
using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the wave goes around
corners and thus can detect creatures behind cover.
Efficaciousness
3rd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: M (a few drops of machine oil)
Duration: 4 hours
For the duration of the spell, a machine or construct you
touch runs as if it is in perfect working order, ignoring such
trifles as broken parts, worn gears, or the laws of physics and
magic. Additionally, physical flaws such as dents and
scratches fade, making the device look like it is brand new.
If you target a living construct with this spell, it gains
temporary hit points equal to its current hit points for the
duration of the spell.
The spell even allows machines that were improperly
constructed in the first place to work, though the duration of
the spell in such cases is reduced to 1 hour. Additionally, such
a machine may catastrophically fail once the spell's duration
wears off.
If you attempt to cast this spell on a machine or construct
already under the effects of efficaciousness, the target
immediately breaks down and ceases functioning. A
construct targeted this way takes damage equal to the
amount of temporary hit points it gained from the first
casting.
Find the Trajectory
1st-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a handful of white dust or powder)
Duration: Concentration, 10 minutes
You mystically sharpen your eye and your mind, able to
analyze the aftermath of firefights with ease.
For the duration, you can touch a bullet hole in a structure
or a bullet wound on a person and discover where the round
was fired from. If you spend an additional minute
concentrating on one particular impact site, you can
determine the type of firearm used to fire the bullet. If you
concentrate on the same impact site for the spell's full
duration, you can obtain a vague sense of the shooter's race,
gender, and height, as well as gaining enough familiarity with
the shooter's weapon to be able to use locate object or similar
spells to find it.
Forceful Bullet
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: M (a firearm and a piece of its ammunition)
Duration: 1 round
The bullet you touch is loaded into a firearm, where it is fired
with excessive force. The next time a ranged weapon attack is
made with that firearm, if the attack hits, add a d6 to the
damage roll. If the firearm has the reload property, this attack
counts as two attacks towards its reload count.
The spell's magic fades if the firearm is not used to attack
before your next turn.
The damage die improves to a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 11th
level, and a d12 at 17th level.
Fortify
2nd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (a pot of red clay and a handful of earth)
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
You draw runes onto the skin and clothing of a willing
creature. The runes glow with protective magic that wards
them from debilitating effects. The first time the target would
be subjected to the paralyzed, petrified, prone, restrained, or
stunned condition due to an attack, spell, or effect, if it is not
at 0 hit points, it ignores that condition instead, and the spell
ends.
Ghost Bullets
4th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (pieces of nonmagical ammunition)
Duration: 1 hour
By speaking an eerie incantation, you transform up to four
nonmagical bullets in your inventory into ethereal projections
that pass through inorganic material.
When making a ranged attack using one of these bullets,
the target's AC is equal to 10 + its Dexterity modifier,
regardless of any cover it has or any armor it is wearing. If it
isn't wearing armor and has a racial or class feature that
provides a different formula for calculating AC such as
Unarmored Defense, it can use that AC calculation instead.
Because of the ethereal nature of these bullets, they are
particularly good at striking creatures that do not have a
physical form. An attack made with one of these bullets deals
double damage to ghosts, spirits, and other creatures without
a physical body, such as those that have the Incorporeal
Movement feature.
However, since they pass through inorganic material,
constructs are not affected by these bullets, and attacks made
against them with these bullets automatically miss.
The spell's magic ends on a bullet after it is fired, or fades
from it once the spell's duration is complete.
49
 Glassing Beam
9th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 300 feet
Components: S, M (a focusing lens, glow worm powder, an
emerald worth 5,000 gp that is consumed when the spell is
cast)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You call upon a mighty, destructive beam of magical force to
destroy your enemies and burn the earth around them until
its surface is but glass.
Choose a point within range. You summon forth a large,
white-orange pulsating beam in a 30-foot-radius, 50,000-foot-
high column centered on that point. Creatures that start their
turn within that area or enter it for the first time take 5d10
fire damage, 5d10 force damage, 5d10 necrotic damage, and
5d10 radiant damage. After two rounds, the beam turns the
surface struck by it into cracked and jagged glass, destroying
plants and objects that aren't being worn or carried. This
turns the area into difficult terrain that is extraordinarily
painful to cross. Any creature that moves more than half its
speed on this terrain takes 2d10 piercing damage. Structures
hit by this beam take double the damage from this spell.
You must use your action to maintain the beam; if you fail
to do so, your concentration on the spell immediately ends.
While you are doing so, your movement speed is 0 and you
have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws. You can use
your bonus action to move the beam up to 20 feet in any
direction.
Hydraulic Beam
3rd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot long, 15-foot wide line)
Components: V, S, M (a drop of water)
Duration: Instantaneous
You project a large jet of water from your hand or an object
you are holding or carrying. The beam shoots forth from you
in a 30-foot long, 15-foot wide line in a direction of your
choosing. Creatures within the line must make a Strength
saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d6
bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a successful
save, it takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 3rd.
Ice Bayonet
1st-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (a piece of ice and a two-handed firearm)
Duration: 1 minute
You create a shard of ice at the end of the barrel of a rifle,
musket, blunderbuss, or shotgun you touch. For 1 minute,
you can use this firearm as a finesse melee weapon that deals
1d6 piercing damage and 2d6 cold damage on a hit.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d6
for each slot level above 1st.

Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of brick or mortar dust)
Duration: Instantaneous
You cause a shimmering wall of force — 3 feet tall, 5 feet
wide, and 1 inch thick — to spring up in an instant,
interposed between the source of the triggering attack and
either yourself or a creature you can see. The wall provides
half cover against the triggering attack before immediately
dissipating.
When you reach 11th level, the wall's protection improves,
providing three-quarters cover before dissipating.
Ironwood Aegis
2nd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour
Your body becomes suffused with nature's power, granting a
fighting chance against improving technology. You gain
ballistics resistance (BR 1) for the duration of the spell. This
applies even if you are not wearing armor.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the ballistics resistance increases
to BR 2. When you use a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the
ballistics resistance increases to BR 3.
Jinx
1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature
hits you with an attack
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You place a vengeful curse on a creature as it attacks you.
This curse wracks their minds whenever they attempt to
strike you. When this spell is cast, and for the duration of the
spell, whenever the cursed creature targets you with an
attack, it takes 1d4 psychic damage. As a bonus action during
your turn or if the cursed creature is killed, you can move this
curse to a new target.
Magnetize
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a small bar magnet)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Choose a creature you can see within range. A unwilling
creature may make a Constitution saving throw to resist this
spell. You affect the magnetic field surrounding that creature
in one of two ways:
Attraction. Melee and ranged weapon attacks made
against the creature deal an additional 1d4 force damage,
provided the weapon used is made of metal.
Repulsion. When a melee or ranged weapon attack from
a weapon made of metal hits the creature, roll 1d4 and
reduce the damage dealt by the result.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage dealt by attacks is
increased or reduced by an additional 1d4 for every two slot
levels above 2nd.
Mindrending Bullet
Enchantment cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
Your words blend with the gun's loud retort, creating a
noise that pierces through the target's psyche. As part of the
action used to cast this spell, you must make a ranged attack
with a firearm within the spell's range, otherwise the spell
fails. On a hit, the damage dealt by the attack is psychic
instead of the normal damage type.
This spell's damage increases when you reach higher
levels. At 5th level, the attack deals an extra 1d4 psychic
damage to the target. This increases by 1d4 at 11th level
(2d4), and 17th level (3d4).
Obfuscate
2nd-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (tiny gears, pieces of copper wire, and
a chip of glass)
Duration: 24 hours
You place an illusion on an inanimate object you touch that
isn't being carried or worn by another creature, causing it to
appear far more complex that it should be, plated with brass
and covered with buttons, levers, and meaningless indicators.
The illusory controls can be interacted with, but serve no
function. Any physical controls on the item are disguised to
look like the illusory controls. As a result, the item is
incredibly difficult and unwieldy to use.
Any ability checks or attack rolls made to use the item, or
even to discern its function, are made at disadvantage.
If you cast this spell on the same object every day for 30
days, the illusion lasts until it is dispelled.
51
 Over Shield
4th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: M (A vial of iron powder in an oil suspension)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You channel your protective magics to improve the defensive
capabilities of a creature within range, creating a tightly-
knitted barrier over their entire body.
A creature you choose within range gains 2d4 temporary
hit points. Additionally, choose either acid, cold, fire, lightning,
or thunder damage. The creature gains resistance to the
chosen damage type.
Both the temporary hit points and the resistance are lost
when you lose concentration on the spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th level or higher, increase the temporary hit points
granted by the spell by 1d4 per slot level above 4th.
Poison Gas
1st-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of nightshade)
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
You toss a small green orb at a point you choose within range
that explodes into a toxic cloud. This cloud starts as a 10-foot
square centered on the point and expands 5 feet in each
direction every round to a maximum of a 30-foot square. Any
creature that starts its turn within the cloud or enters its area
for the first time must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A creature poisoned by
this spell takes 1d6 poison damage at the start of each of
their turns until the effect ends. At the end of its turn, the
creature can make another Constitution saving throw in
order to end the poison effect on itself.
This spell does not affect creatures that are immune to
poison damage or the poisoned condition, nor does it affect
creatures have already been poisoned.
A strong wind disperses this cloud after 4 rounds.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage dealt by the poison
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
Power Word Blind
7th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
You speak a word of power, causing an inky black miasma to
fill the vision of a single target you can see within range. If the
target has 150 hit points or fewer, it is blinded. Otherwise, the
spell has no effect.
The blinded target must make a Constitution saving throw
at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, this
effect ends.
52
Quick Load
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a firearm and at least one piece of
nonmagical ammunition)
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a firearm belonging to a willing creature and a
number of pieces of nonmagical ammunition equal to the
firearm's reload count. The ammunition disappears into time
and space in order to appear later. The next time the gun
must be reloaded, the affected bullets appear inside the
firearm, automatically reloading it.
Rime Fang
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (a piece of ice, ingested as the spell is
cast)
Duration: Instantaneous
Sharp shards of ice fill your mouth, giving the appearance of
vampire teeth as you lash out at your enemy. Make a melee
spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target
takes 3d8 cold damage and must make a Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, the creature gains one level of
exhaustion.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d8
per slot level above 3rd.
Rotting Shot
3rd-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a piece of mundane ammunition)
Duration: Instantaneous
You infuse your next shot with a foul, strength sapping energy.
If the next ranged weapon attack you make hits, the target
takes 1d8 necrotic damage and must make a Constitution
saving throw. On a failed save, they take an additional 1d8
necrotic damage and have disadvantage on Strength ability
checks and saving throws for the next minute.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the initial necrotic damage
increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
Rust Shut
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S, M (a metal bolt and a drop of water)
Duration: Until dispelled, see below
You cause a metal joint to build up with corrosion, rendering
it difficult to move. When you cast this spell, choose a metal
object or construct within range.
Object. You target a moving metal joint, such as the hinge
of a door or a metal lock. The spell causes the metal to rust,
requiring significant effort to break loose. The rusted joint
can be forced open using a Strength check against your spell
save DC or a grease spell targeting the area where the joint is
located. Once the joint is broken, the spell ends.
Construct. The construct you target must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is
restrained. While restrained this way, it can make a Strength
(Athletics) check against your spell save DC at the start of
each of its turns, ending the spell on a success.
Searing Smoke
3rd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a container of sulfur)
Duration: 1 minute
You throw sulfur into the air and convert it to a gaseous cloud
that surrounds a point you choose within range. The cloud
occupies a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the chosen
point. A creature that starts its turn within the cloud or enters
its area for the first time must make a Constitution saving
throw, taking 2d8 fire damage and 2d8 acid damage on a
failed save, or half that much damage on a successful one. A
strong wind disperses this cloud after 4 rounds.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the fire and acid damage each
increase by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
Shackles of Pain
2nd-level necromancy
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 40 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small silver chain worth at least 5 gp
and a fresh drop of your own blood)
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
As you speak this incantation, a glowing red chain emerges
from your chest, lashing out like a snake at your target to bind
your essences together. Choose a creature you can see within
range. An unwilling creature can make a Constitution saving
throw to avoid this spell's effects. On a successful save, the
chain misses and the spell ends. On a failed save, the chain
attaches to the creature's body. It is ethereal and does not
restrict movement, but while it is attached, whenever you take
damage, the creature takes the same amount of damage.
At the end of each of the attached creature's turns for the
duration, it can try to remove the chain by retrying the
Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, the chain is
removed and the spell ends.
Sight Line
5th-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 500 feet
Components: S, M (a ruby worth 100 gp)
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
A bright red pinpoint of light appears on the body a creature
you can see within range, targeting one of its vital areas. For
the duration of the spell, ranged weapon attacks made
against that creature have advantage, as long as the attack is
made within the maximum range of the weapon used to
make the attack.
At the start of the creature's turn, it can make a Perception
check against your spell save DC to notice the dot. Once it
does, it can use its action to make a Dexterity saving throw to
move out of the way of the light, ending the spell on a
successful save.
Spiritual Firearm
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You create a floating, spectral firearm within range that lasts
for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you
cast this spell, choose between a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun.
The chosen weapon appears in a space within range and
makes a single attack, as detailed below:
Pistol. The pistol fires once at a single target. Make a
ranged spell attack against a creature within 40 feet of it
the pistol; on a hit, the creature takes 1d8 piercing
damage.
Rifle. The rifle fires a round that shoots through a 90-foot
line in front of it, pointed in a direction you choose. Each
creature within that line must make a Dexterity saving
throw, taking 1d8 piercing damage on a failed save or half
as much on a success.
Shotgun. The shotgun's blast hits each creature within a
30-foot cone in front of it, pointed in a direction you
choose. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity
saving throw, taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed
save or half as much on a success.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the weapon
up to 20 feet and make another attack with it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by one
damage die (1d8 or 1d6) for every two slot levels above 2nd.
53
 Spontaneous Combustion
3rd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (20-foot-radius sphere)
Components: V, S, M (a match coated with rendered animal
fat)
Duration: 1 minute
You release a burst of energy that rapidly increases the
temperature of clothes and skin, causing it to instantly catch
fire. Choose up to five creatures you can see within 20 feet of
you. Each of them must make a Constitution saving throw.
On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 fire damage and
catches fire. On a successful save, it takes half as much
damage and does not catch fire.
While on fire, a creature takes 1d6 fire damage at the start
of each of its turns. This fire cannot be extinguished normally,
but the creature can retry the Constitution saving throw at
the end of each of its turns, putting itself out on a successful
save.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the initial damage and subsequent
fire damage each increase by 1d6 for each slot level above
3rd.
Steam Burst
2nd-level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot cube)
Components: M (a vial of water)
Duration: Instantaneous
You cause a blast of superheated steam to form in an area
filling a 10-foot cube in front of you. The steam scalds and
burns each creature within the area, forcing them to make a
Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d6
fire damage and must succeed an additional Constitution
saving throw or gain one level of exhaustion, as the steam
burn causes damage to internal organs. This level of
exhaustion is removed once the creature has any amount of
hit points restored.
On a successful Dexterity saving throw, a creature takes
half as much fire damage and doesn't have to make the
Constitution save.
Tailwind
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self (60-foot long, 20-foot wide line)
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, 1 minute
The air whips about you, causing a strong air current to form.
A gust of wind fills the air in a 60-foot line that is 20 feet
wide, originating from you. Ranged attacks from weapons
other than firearms within this area are made with a +2
bonus to attack rolls and damage, as long as they are made in
the same direction as the blowing wind.
While concentrating on this spell, you can use your bonus
action to change the direction of the line of wind.
54
Vortex
4th-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: S, M (an amethyst worth 200 gp, a ball of cast
iron, a magnet and a dash of glow worm powder)
Duration: Concentration, up to four rounds
You snap your fingers and create an arcane vortex in the
shape of a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can
see within range. Any creature that starts its turn within the
vortex or enters its area for the first time takes 2d10 force
damage. The vortex is considered difficult terrain;
additionally, creatures within the vortex cannot take the Dash
action. Any creature attempting to leave the vortex's area
must succeed a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, they
are unable to use their movement to leave the vortex's area
for the rest of their turn.
Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the vortex
must succeed a Strength saving throw or be pulled into an
unoccupied space within its boundaries. If there is no
unoccupied space in the vortex, the creature is not pulled in.
The vortex dissipates harmlessly if you do not maintain
concentration on this spell for the full duration. However, at
the start of your turn on the fourth round, the spell ends as
the vortex implodes, releasing a massive amount of arcane
energy. Anyone within the vortex's area when this happens
must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a
creature takes 4d10 force damage and is knocked prone. On
a successful save, it takes half as much damage and is not
knocked prone.
Wall of Denial
2nd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (a small pane of glass and a smear of
red paint)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You summon a 10-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall, and 1-inch-thick wall
of magical force that extends from a point you choose within
range. Before you cast the spell, choose any number of
creatures you can see. The chosen creatures may walk
through the wall unimpeded. Anyone else must make a
Strength saving throw, passing through on a successful save.
On a failed save, a creature is forced to stop and cannot use
its movement to attempt to move past the wall for the rest of
its turn.
The wall can be attacked and destroyed to allow movement
through it. Each 5-foot-square section of the wall has AC 10
and 15 hit points. Reducing a section of the wall to 0 hit
points causes that section to dissipate, though the rest of the
wall remains standing for the duration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the width of the wall increases by
10 feet for each slot level above 2nd. When you cast this spell
using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can also choose to
form the wall into a hemisphere with a radius of 10 feet.
Warp Metal
3rd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You grasp a piece of nonmagical metal such as a sword or a
piece of armor and alter its rigid structure, shifting it in your
fingers as if it were clay.
If the object you touch is an inanimate object that isn't
being worn or carried, you can create a dent or hole in the
object up to six inches across in any dimension.
This distortion reduces the effectiveness of metal weapons
and armor, weakening their physical structure. If you target a
melee weapon with this spell, it deals half its normal damage.
If you target a piece of armor, roll 1d4 and apply the result as
a penalty to the AC granted by the item. If you target a shield,
it only provides a +1 bonus to AC, instead of any other bonus
it would provide. Any item with ballistics resistance loses it
for the duration of the spell.
If the object you touch is being held or carried by a
creature, it can make a Dexterity saving throw to shift the
object out of your grasp. If the creature is wearing the object,
such as a piece of armor, the creature has disadvantage on
this saving throw.

55
 Weapons and Armor
Firearms
In order to put guns in a campaign in a way that makes them
more than just reskinned bows, here are a list of basic rules
for firearms for Dungeons and Dragons.
General Rules
These are universal rules for every gun found in this book.
Akimbo. If you are proficient with firearms or ranged
weapons and are wielding two light firearms or ranged
weapons, after you fire one, you can use a bonus action to
attack with another light firearm you are holding. You don't
add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack,
unless that modifier is negative.
Misfire (Optional Rule). This rule is made only for games
where firearms are prominent, and you wish to emphasize
inferiority of primitive firearms. These rules only apply to
them in this instance.
If you make an attack roll and the roll matches or is lower
than a firearm's misfire number (excluding bonuses), your
gun jams. You cannot make an attack with it again until you
spend an action to clear the chamber. Your firearm's misfire
number then goes up by 1, to a maximum of 10. You can
spend 1 minute and make a Dexterity (Tinker's tools) or
Intelligence (Tinker's tools) check equal to DC 10 + your
gun's misfire number to reduce your gun's misfire number
back to the original misfire number.
Primitive Guns (Optional Rule). In games where firearms
are prominent, you can use this optional rule. Primitive
Firearms with the flawed property are not properly built for
extended combat. If you make more than two attacks with
these weapons in a single round, the firearm's misfire number
goes up by 1, to a maximum of 10.
Reload & Long Load. The reload and long load properties
specify the number of attacks that can be made with the
weapon before it runs out of ammunition. After making the
number of attacks specified by the gun's reload/long load
number, you must reload the weapon using ammunition on
hand before it can be used again.
Ranged weapons with the reload property must be
reloaded using an action or bonus action. Ranged weapons
with the long load property take an action to reload its
ammunition.
If you wield two light ranged weapons with the reload
property, you can reload them both at once as an action
during your turn.
If you are wielding a light ranged weapon with the reload
property in one hand and have your hand occupied by
something other than another light ranged weapon with the
reload property, the ranged weapon takes an action to reload.
Shell Loading. Firearms with the shell loading property
must be reloaded after a certain number of attacks, just like
weapons with the reload property. However, reloading must
be done by inserting each piece of ammunition in at a time.
Fully reloading your gun this way takes an action during your
turn. Alternatively, as a bonus action, you can reload up to
two pieces of ammunition into the weapon.
56
Firearm Properties
The following properties will not be featured universally on
every firearm and will vary from gun to gun.
Automatic. Automatic firearms can make a separate attack
that releases a salvo of bullets per pull of the trigger. As an
action, you can force any creatures of your choice in a 25-foot
square centered on a point within your gun's maximum range
to make a Dexterity saving throw, taking the gun's automatic
damage (listed in parentheses) on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a success. This action subtracts rounds
from your gun equal to the number of creatures affected.
Additionally, guns with the automatic property always
expend six rounds per attack.
Automatic Save DC (Not Proficient) = 12
Automatic Save DC (Proficient) = 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Dexterity modifier
Bayonet. These firearms are built with a blade that can be
used for a melee attack. The damage and any other
properties of the weapon when used in melee are listed in
parentheses. You are not considered proficient in melee
attacks made with a bayonet unless you are proficient with
improvised weapons.
Bolt-Action. When using a bolt-action firearm, you can fire
only one piece of ammunition from it when you make an
attack with it, regardless of the number of attacks you can
normally make. After making an attack with this weapon, you
must use an action or bonus action to clear the spent
cartridge from the weapon before you can fire it again.
Burst Fire. Burst fire firearms are able to make a special
attack that releases a stream of multiple bullets. As an action,
you can force up to 6 creatures of your choice in a 15-foot
square centered on a point within your gun's maximum range
to make a Dexterity saving throw, taking your gun's burst fire
damage (listed in parentheses) on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a success. This action subtracts rounds
from your gun equal to the number of creatures affected, to a
maximum of 6.
Additionally, guns with the burst fire property always
expend 3 rounds per attack.
Burst Fire Save DC (Not Proficient) = 12
Burst Fire Save DC (Proficient) = 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Dexterity modifier
Bulky. Firearms and ranged weapons with the bulky
property have to be made stable via going prone or taking a
bonus action to stablize it in order to be fired effectively due
to their weight. You cannot attack more than once during
your turn while wielding a bulky firearm.
Scatter. Firearms with the scatter property have two types
of damage, a regular damage roll and a scatter damage roll.
When you make an attack roll with one of these guns against
a creature, compare your attack roll to the AC of all creatures
within 5 feet of the target. If your attack would hit them, deal
the firearm's scatter damage roll to the creatures. You do not
add your ability score modifier to the damage of this attack,
unless that modifier is negative.
Proficiency with Firearms
Firearms are not typical weapons. The nature of their construction and the complexity of their use and care require a special kind
of training required to become proficient with them. Unless otherwise specified by the DM, firearms count as a separate
proficiency from martial and simple weapons.
There are two types of proficiencies associated with firearms: longarms, which include Two-handed firearms, and sidearms,
which include every other kind of firearm. Sidearms can be wielded in one hand.
The general rule of a firearm using Dexterity vs. Strength depends on its weight. If the fire arm weighs 9 lbs. and under it is
considered a dexterity Weapon. If the firearm weighs 10 lbs. and over it is considered a Strength weapon.

Double Barrel Shotgun Special Rules

Double barrel shotguns can be fired twice per attack. When you make an attack roll with a double barrel shotgun, you can make
two attack rolls at the same creature. The second attack roll is made with disadvantage, and on a hit, you do not add your ability
score modifier to the damage of that attack, unless your modifier is negative.
Gunlance and Rilfeblade Special Rules
The gunlance and rilfeblade are equipped with firearms built into the weapon itself giving each the ability to be fired similarly to a
firearm. If either is fired within melee range you the weapon deals the melee weapon damage along with the base damage as fire
damage. After either is fired the weapon must be reloaded before it can be fired again.
Handheld Cannon Special Rules
Rather than make a regular attack with this weapon, you can use an action to fire the cannon with extreme force. The round
shoots forward in a line, which is 5 feet wide and has a length equal to half the cannon's maximum range. Each creature in that
line must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC of this saving throw is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity
modifier. On a failed save, a creature takes 1d12 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, a target takes
half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
Additionally, handheld cannons are considered siege weapon that has advantage on attacks against structurs and always crits
on a hit.
Nock Gun Special Rules
You can use your action to fire all 7 barrels of this gun at once. Make an attack roll with disadvantage. If you succeed, roll 7d10
piercing damage. However, the recoil from making this attack deals 7d4 bludgeoning damage to you and forces you to make a DC
10 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Applying And Removing Custom Parts

Any firearm can only have two custom parts at one time. You
must build a custom part onto the weapon in order to use it.
Doing so takes 1 week of work (8 hours per day) and 500 gp
of raw materials. Dismantling a custom part takes one day of
work (8 hours) and 10 gp of raw materials. You must
dismantle a custom part to build another onto it if your gun is
already at its custom part limit.
Crafting Firearms & Firearm Parts
When it comes to crafting a firearm there are many nuancess
when creating a firearm that can include.
A Note About Attachments &
Custom Parts
Custom parts and attachments are primarily for
games where guns are both advanced and
commonplace in your worlds. They're made to
explicitly make them superior to more primitive
weapons. If every character in your current game is
not holding at least one gun (excluding Barbarians,
Druids, or something equivalent), then it is wise to
keep them out or just give those who don't wield
guns more magic items and armor to compensate.

Unique Weapons Special Weapons

Modern technology is not limited to firearms. Overall
improvements in metalworking and engineering have created
unique items even for those who shy away from guns.
Weapon Properties
Properties not found in official material are detailed below.
Hidden. A weapon with the hidden property is designed to
be easily concealed by the holder. If you have proficiency with
a hidden weapon, you also gain advantage on Dexterity
(Sleight of Hand) checksto hide the weapon.
Non-lethal. Weapons with this property are designed for
subdual, and always deal non-lethal damage.
Weapons with the special property, as well as items requiring
explanation, are detailed below.
Bola. Consisting of a length of cord with weights on each
end, this weapon can entangle a target. A Large or smaller
creature hit by a bola must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity
saving throw or become grappled until it is freed. A bola has
no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are
Huge or larger.
A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength
check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a
success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the bola (AC 10) also
frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and
destroying the bola.

62
     Ball & Chain. This heavy metal chain is attached to a
solid iron ball. It is swung through the air like a flail to deal
massive damage. For an additional 10 gp, the ball can be
switched out for a blade (slashing) or spike (piercing) .
Boot Knife. This spring-loaded blade is hidden on the sole
of a heavy boot or shoe. Once you hit its hidden switch to
deploy it (as a bonus action), it can be used as an off-hand
weapon, even if you are carrying two weapons or a two-
handed weapon. While it is deployed, walking is slightly
difficult, and you treat normal terrain as difficult and difficult
terrain as impassable.
You can re-arm the blade as an action, pushing it back into
your boot where it remains hidden.
Buzzsaw. Consisting of a circular sawblade attached to a
handheld motor, this device is typically used to cut wooden
planks or metal locks, but is is just as effective on flesh.
However, using this weapon causes a great deal of noise; the
spinning blade and roaring motor can be heard out to a
distance of 60 feet if used outside. This distance reduces to
30 feet if you use this weapon indoors.
Cestus. This is a heavy, padded glove that covers the
wielder from mid-finger to mid-forearm. It is made of leather
or thick cloth and reinforced with metal plates over the
fingers.
A monk wielding a cestus can add its damage to thier
unarmed strikes, and it counts as a monk weapon for them.
Chakram. This circular, sharp bladed disc is unique, even
as far as uncommon weapons go. It can be used for melee
attacks or thrown. When it is thrown, it returns to its thrower,
and must be caught using a bonus action.
Garrote Wire. This length of thin, sharp wire can only be
used on a Medium or Small creature while the user has
advantage on the attack roll. On a hit, the target takes 1d4
slashing damage and is grappled. Until the grapple ends, the
target cannot breathe, and allies has advantage on attack
rolls against the target.
Gauntlet Blade. This weapon, invented by a secret
organization, appears to be simple ornate leather bracer.
However, when the wielder presses a secret switch, deploying
a blade. The same switch retracts the blade, hiding it from
view as a bonus action.
While the blade is deployed, you cannot hold anything in
your hand.
Grenades and Mines. These small handheld explosives
are used by throwing them as an action. Choose a point
anywhere within a maximum distance of 5 times your
Strength modifier. When the grenade reaches that point, it
detonates, forcing everyone in an area centered on that point
to make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a
creature takes damage based on the type of grenade used; on
a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
Alternatively, a mine can be planted in the ground, hidden
from sight and triggered when a creature steps on it. Planting
a mine takes 1 minute. A creature moving more than half its
speed that moves into the mine's space must succeed a
Dexterity saving throw or take damage as above. If a creature
is moving at a slow pace, the DC of this saving throw is
reduced by their Dexterity modifier.
A creature looking for traps can make an Intelligence
(Investigation) check contested by your Dexterity (Sleight of
Hand), Charisma (Deception), or Intelligence (Deception),
whichever is higher. On a success, your mine is discovered.
A creature aware of the mine after it is discovered takes
only half damage on a failed save, or no damage on a
successful one.
Lightning Baton. This metal rod has two sharp prongs at
its tip and is designed to subdue enemies without killing
them. With the push of a button, electricity sparks across the
tip of the rod.
If the rod is dropped into water at least ankle-high, each
creature in the water must succeed a DC 13 Constituion
saving throw or take damage as if critically hit by this
weapon. This effect applies automatically if the target is wet.
Sawtooth Sword. This serrated blade causes grievous
wounds when used correctly, as its jagged edge shreds and
deepens cuts. When you make an attack with this weapon, if
you roll a 19 or 20 and hit, the target begins bleeding out,
taking 1d4 slashing damage at the beginning of each of its
turns until it takes an action to stop the bleeding.
Stiletto Knife and Switch Blade. These are knives with
spring-loaded blades. Small, easy to conceal... and illegal in
many cities.
Walking Cane. This seemingly normal cane is actually a
clever and elegant hidden sheath for a blade. The blade can
be unsheathed as part of the action used to attack with this
weapon. This blade functions as a mundane rapier or dagger
(depending on the construction of the cane).

Creating/Using Crafted Grenades Modern Armor

Grenades are a rare armerment specifically used by military
units and armed forces though artisians have figured out how Ballistics Resistance (BR) and

to create such a dangerous weapon. They are extremly
difficult and dangerous to manufacture so not many know the
ins and outs of these items.
Crafting a grenade is a dangerous thing to do to in your
free time. Wit the chance of explosion or a malfunction going
off after it is finished grenades are a useful but volitial item to
add to ones arsenal. With each grenade is a DC. This DC
determines the difficulty of creating a grenade based on the
cost of it and the damage type associated with it. To craft a
grenade one must be proficiant in either Tinkerer's Tools or
Smith Tools though it is variably more difficult with smith's
tools over tinkerer's tools (with smith's tool's add a +2 to the
crafting DC to create a grenade).
After the completion of crafted grenage, all crafted
grenades, when activated, must pass a flat DC check equal to
the crafting DC - 10. If the DC fails roll a D100. If the number
is 1-50 the greade does not detinate, if the number is 51-100
the grenade is set off upon activation and acts normally. On
successful save, the grenade works as intended.
Damage Reduction (DR)
With the increase in the effectiveness of ranged weaponry,
armorers needed to follow suit. Improvements in metallurgy
and engineering have created better, stronger materials
designed to withstand the force of a bullet.
Armor developers have devised many different ways to
minimize the damage from firearms. Some use thicker metal
plating; others use multiple layers of thick cloth and tightly
woven metal; still others use magical means. Regardless of
the method, these improvements are all represented by a new
property: ballistics resistance.
Armor with ballistics resistance have the designation BR
followed by a number. When an enemy makes an attack with
a firearm against you, your get a bonus to your AC equal to
this BR number. For example, if you are wearing a Light
Undercover Shirt, your base armor class is 11 + your
Dexterity modifier. With a modifier of 3, you have an armor
class of 14. When you are attacked with a firearm, the shirt's
ballistics resistance gives you a +2 bonus, so now your armor
class is 16 against that attack. Of course, ballistics resistance
doesn't do much against a sword!
Heavy armor does not benefit from ballistics resistance;
instead they have a propety called damage reduction, or DR.
When hit by a round from a firearm that does not ignore
armor, the damage is reduced by an amount equal to the DR
number + the wearer's Constitution modifier.

Magic Items
Ammunition, Returning
Wondrous item, very rare

This set of bullets comes in a set of six or more, enough to

fully reload a standard firearm. Each shell casing is engraved
with a small infinity symbol along its side.
The returning ammunition must be loaded into a single
firearm all at once, either into the firearm itself or into a clip,
or else its magic is immediately lost. After loading the
returning ammunition, the next time that firearm must be
reloaded, all of the spent rounds return to the gun, completely
intact and ready to be fired again, with no action required.
After the rounds return once, there is a cumulative 20%
chance that the bullets do not return the next time the
weapon needs to be reloaded.
Ammunition, Tracer
Wondrous item, rare

A box of tracer ammunition glows with unnatural

fluorescence, even in bright sunlight. The box contains 1d20
rounds for a given firearm when found, all of which have the
same glow.
When a piece of tracer ammunition strikes a target, the
next attack made against that target has advantage.
Amulet of Intervention
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This amulet takes the shape of a large golden square. It has

red and green gems inlaid on one side and engraved with the
image of a pair of wings on the other side. When worn, it
protects you from disaster and wards away death.
Guardian Angel. If you would be subjected to an effect that
would reduce you to 0 hit points, the amulet automatically
activates. A golden sphere of light bursts forth, negating the
damage dealt and rendering you immune to all damage and
all conditions. This sphere lasts for up to 1 round before
fading away. Once this ability is activated, the amulet loses its
magic until the next dawn.
Abyss Ring
Ring, rare (requires attunement)

This silver ring is has shards of jagged obsidian along the

outside and has three small rubies inset at equal lengths
away from each other that seem to remain dull and dark no
matter what lighting conditions are around..
Each gem holds a single charge, for a total of three
charges. The ring regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at
dawn as long as you are not looking at it when it recharges.
While wearing and attuned to the abyss ring, you can
expend a charge to cast invisibility on yourself. Rather than
requiring concentration, the spell maintains itself only as
long as you can hold your breath. (Follow the rules for
holding your breath and suffocation detailed on page 183 of
the Player's Handbook.)

65
 Artemis Cannon
Weapon (rifle), very rare (requires attunement)
Weapon (bola), rare
This weapon is decorated with the holy symbol of Artemis, a
bow over the lunar disc, carved deeply and carefully into the
stock. The entire rifle feels like it was made for a hunter.
This +1 rifle deals an extra 1d4 force damage on a hit.
Additionally, this weapon has 4 charges. You can expend one
charge to cast conjure barrage, or you can expend 2 charges
to cast conjure volley. The save DC for these spells is 16.
The weapon regains 1d4 expended charges daily at
midnight if its holy symbol is held under the light of the
moon.
Bandolier of Blades
Wondrous item, rare
success, the creature breaks free and destroys the bola.
This hard leather bandolier is lined with woolen cord. Its
pouch glows with a faint yellow light, and has slots for four
daggers. A nonmagical dagger placed in this bandolier is
infused with magic, and when it is drawn from the bandolier
it acts as a +1 dagger for 1 minute. If the dagger is thrown
during this duration, it automatically reappears within the
bandolier as long as it is on the same plane as the thrower.
You can draw a dagger from the bandolier as part of the
action used to attack with it.
Bells of the Meticulous Magician
Wondrous item, very rare
mechanical control, the watch stores that movement and can
Three golden bells sit in a small, leather-bound case that
attaches to the waist. The first a pyramid-shaped bell with 4
triangular emeralds. The second is a cylindrical bell with 4
oval sapphires, and the last is a cube-shaped bell with 4
square rubies inset. The gems on the bells give off a faint
glow, tinting them green, blue, and red respectively. Each bell
holds four charges, represented by each of the four
gemstones inlaid into its surface; as a bonus action, you can
ring one of the bells, expending one charge. Each bell regains
one expended charge daily at dawn.
The sound of a bell can be heard clearly out to 15 feet, and
faintly for another 15 feet.
Pyramid Bell. The sharp sound of this bell causes a
surface you choose to give off a faint green glow. This glow
reveals the presence of hidden objects, fixtures, or passages
behind or beneath the surface, but only if the DC for finding
the object is 15 or lower. The pyramid bell can only affect a
surface no larger than a square 5 feet on a side.
Cylinder Bell. The tinkling chime of this bell sounds like a
set of keys. When rung, a single nonmagical lock or simple
trap you can see glows a faint blue. If the DC to unlock the
lock or disarm the trap is 15 or lower, the bell's magic
unlocks or disarms it. The object affected this way can be no
larger than 10 feet in any dimension.
Cube Bell. The low drone of this bell seems to resonate
with the weave of magic itself. A soft, red glow appears on an
object or surface you can see, dispelling a single magical trap
or magical lock that has a DC of 15 or lower. The object
affected this way must fit within a square 5 feet on a side.
66
Bola of Anchoring
This bola is made of three mirrored steel spheres connected
by lengths of steel chain. An abjuration rune is emblazoned
on each of the spheres.
The bola functions as a mundane bola, except the save DC
to avoid grapple is 15. The bola prevents a creature grappled
by it from using any method of extradimensional movement,
including teleportation or travel to a different plane of
existence. It doesn't prevent the creature from passing
through an interdimensional portal.
You and any creature you designate when you use the bola
can use an action to remove it. Once every 30 days, the bound
creature can make a DC 30 Strength (Athletics) check. On a
Clock of Synchrony
Wondrous item, common
This brass pocket watch has three stoppers along its top
edge. It keeps good time when wound, and its reverse side is
engraved with an image of two chain links linked together.
The item is designed to trigger the movement of up to two
devices at the same time. The two devices must have
mechanical controls and must be within 100 feet of each
other. By pressing either the left or the right stopper while
pressing a button, pulling a lever, or otherwise activating a
magically re-trigger it. The watch only stores two such
movements at a time, one for the left stopper, and one for the
right. Pressing the center stopper while within 100 feet of at
least one of the devices remotely triggers both the stored
movements at the same time.
Pressing all three stoppers together causes the watch to
reset itself.
Compass of Magic Detection
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
The compass points in the general direction of the highest
concentration of magic in the vicinity. You can also use this
compass to track a "magical trail" in much the same way that
you would follow physical tracks. To do so, roll a Wisdom
(Survival) check. The DC starts at 10 and increases by 5 for
each hour that has passed since the source of magic was
present.
Clockwork Wings
Armor (studded leather), rare
This armor has a pair of wings made of clockwork, strong
fabric, and metal sheets attached to the back. Though magic
provides the power and propulsion, it is the wings that are
responsible for the fine control required for continuous,
smooth flight.
While you wear this armor, you can use a bonus action to
unfold the wings. While they are unfolded, you have a flying
speed of 30 feet and full control of your movement. You can
use the wings to fly for up to 8 hours, all at once or in several
shorter flights, each one using a minimum of 1 minute from
the duration. However, for every full hour of flight, you must
spend time during a short or long rest to perform minor
repairs and maintenance to the wings. This maintenance
requires tinker's tools to perform, and it takes 15 minutes
and costs 20 gp worth of raw materials per full hour of flight
used.
If you fly for a total of 8 hours without repairing the wings,
they break mid-flight. Roll a percentile dice. On a result of 25
or lower, the wings are locked and immobile. You must use
your action each turn to glide at a rate of 30 feet per round,
descending a maximum of 10 feet per round until you reach
the ground. On a result over 25, or if you do not use your
action to glide as above, you fall to the ground and must make
a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to land safely. On a failed
save, you take falling damage as normal for your height,
landing prone. On a successful save, you take half as much
damage and do not land prone.
After the wings break, you must use tinker's tools to spend
at least 1 hour and 80 gp worth of parts to restore partial
functionality to the device, When partially repaired, the
device's flight time is limited to 4 hours and your flight speed
becomes 25 feet. Only when you spend a total of 2 hours and
160 gp worth of raw materials repairing it will you restore
full functionality.
If you use the wings in combat, your ranged attack rolls
have disadvantage unless you are hovering. If you are
knocked prone while flying, you can make a DC 15 Dexterity
save to avoid falling.
Dawnbreak
Weapon (handheld cannon), rare
Hewn of stone and magically reinforced, this weapon has the
shimmering iridescence of pearl, glowing a faint silver from
the energy holding it together. The cannon does not use
ammunition; instead, it fires pulses of light energy that deal
2d6 radiant damage on a hit. A Large or smaller creature hit
by an attack from this weapon must also succeed a DC 15
Strength saving throw or be blown back 15 feet and knocked
prone. An undead struck by this weapon takes an additional
1d6 radiant damage and has disadvantage on the Strength
saving throw.
Due to the special nature of this weapon's magical
discharge, this weapon can only be fired once per Attack
action. Any features such as the fighter's Extra Attack, or
feats that allow a firearm to be fired as a bonus action, do not
work with this weapon.
Demonskin Cloak
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a by a
warlock, sorcerer, or wizard)
This ankle-length hooded cloak looks similar to red leather
from a distance. Upon closer inspection, the hood is made up
of small, thin scales, and the rest of the cloak is thin and
membranous, with thin tubes running down the length of it
that give it the look of large bat wings.
This cloak has four charges, and regains 1d4 + 1 expended
charges daily at dawn.
While attuned to this cloak, you can use your reaction to
expend a charge and cause the cloak to flap up and envelop
you. While enveloped, you get a +5 bonus to AC, including
against the triggering attack. Additionally, spells and attacks
cannot target you or deal damage to you. However, while
enveloped, you are blinded and restrained.
You remain enveloped by the cloak until the start of your
next turn.
67
 Dragonscale Cloak
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

This beautiful cloak is made from the hide and scales of a

dragon. The look and feel (and name) of this cloak depend on
the dragon whose hide it is made from. A red dragonscale
cloak, for example may feel warm to the touch, or a black
dragonscale cloak may appear to be constantly cast in
shadow. Using the hide of specific types of dragons also
confers some of the elemental resistance the creature had in
life; while wearing the cloak, a creature has resistance to the
damage type the cloak's namesake had immunity to.
Additionally, the inherent magic captured in the dragon's
scales allows the wearer of this cloak to cast mage armor
with a target of self. Once you use this ability, you can't use it
again until the next dawn.
Ethereal Gauntlets
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

These gauntlets appear to be ordinary, nonmagical leather,

only revealing their magical properties in the right situation.
While attuned to these gloves, if you come in contact with an
undead creature immune to the grappled condition, that
creature loses that immunity, and you have advantage on
Strength and Dexterity checks involving grappling that
creature.
Fiddlefen Blasting Rod
Weapon (revolver), uncommon

This revolver has a glass orb in place of the cylinder where Hargrave's Helping Hand
bullets would be loaded. The orb is unbreakable, and has a Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

small colored flame inside of it that shimmers different colors
depending on how the orb is turned.
This revolver requires no ammunition, though it still has
the shell loading 6 property (and thus must be recharged
using an action on your turn). When making an attack with it,
its damage type is not piercing, but your choice of acid, cold,
fire, lightning, poison, or thunder damage. You may change
which damage type this weapon deals as part of the same
action you use to attack with it.
Ghostflame Candle
Wondrous item, uncommon
days after attuning to the item, the wearer must make a DC
When you light this candle and speak its command word, the
flame turns a shimmering silver. The silver flame sheds
bright light out to a 30-foot radius and dim light for an
additional 10 feet. Only the holder of the candle can see this
light.
Additionally, the silver flame can be used to light ordinary
light sources, such as lanterns and torches. The flame's
properties transfer to the new light source.
This device consists of a finely crafted prosthetic arm sewn
onto a leather corset. When worn, the arm springs to life, its
gears and motors whirring of its own accord.
When wearing and attuned to this item, the arm acts as an
extra limb, able to hold and manipulate items as if you were
holding them in your own hands. The arm freely moves
across the corset to where it can be most convenient, and this
movement can be controlled at will.
Curse. The helping hand is an item typically sent to new
artificers and wizards as a sort of hazing ritual, seeming
beneficial at first, but soon overstaying its welcome. Three
15 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the arm springs
to life and repeatedly slaps its wearer, making unarmed strike
attacks using the wearer's Dexterity modifier. Each slap deals
1d4 damage. The attacks continue until the corset is
removed. On a successful Charisma saving throw, the device
is fully under the wearer's control.
Heward's Magnificent Multitool
Wondrous item, common

This folded pocket knife has a number of metal

compartments with tools that slide or fold out of the body -
more than it reasonably looks like it should have. Despite
your efforts, you still haven't found the actual knife
compartment.
This item can be used in place of tinker's tools, thieves'
tools, and two other types of artisan's tools (chosen by the
DM), though you do so at a -3 penalty due to the difficulty of
finding the right compartment to use.

68
Lucky Seven
Weapon (any firearm), legendary (requires attunement)
Wondrous item, rare
This gun has lines of pure gold swirling across its barrel and
green four-leaf clovers etched on its grip. It sparkles dimly in
your hands, making every shot feel like you're gambling for
something big. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage
rolls you make with this revolver.
Uncanny Luck. You can call on this weapon's luck to alter
fate around you. Immediately upon attuning to the weapon,
you gain two luck points, which can be used as described in
the lucky feat (Player's Handbook p. 167). As long as you
remain attuned to the weapon, any expended luck points are
regained at the end of a long rest.
Seven of Clovers. If you roll a natural 7 on an attack roll
made with this revolver, you hear the sound of bells and
jingling coins as the weapon begins to glow. This attack
automatically hits its target, is considered a critical hit, and
deals maximum damage. Additionally, for the next minute,
any attack made with this weapon deals an additional 7 force
damage.
Mask of the Plague Doctor
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a cleric,
druid, or paladin)
word. This attack is a large beam of water that shoots
A multicolored leather mask is decorated with an elongated
beak, goggles in the eye holes and metal clips. The beak is
stuffed with various flora of an alchemic nature. When
attuned, the enchantments on the flora in the mask make its
wearer immune to disease and poison, so long as the disease
or poison is not directly administered to the wearer via
injection or wound.
Curse. The mask has no negative benefit while worn, but if
it is removed voluntarily, the wearer gains vulnerability to
poison damage and the poisoned condition, and his or her hit
point maximum is reduced by half until his or her next long
rest.
This effect can be suppressed with the use of dispel magic.
The dispel DC is equal to the wearer's spell save DC. Once
dispelled, the caster takes poison damage equal to half the
wearer's current hit points. The curse remains suppressed
until the next dawn.
Mirror of True Reflecting
This small hand mirror has the image of a blindfolded angel
engraved on its reverse side. It has five charges, regaining
1d4+1 expended charges daily at dawn.
As an action, you can speak its command word and expend
one of its charges to cause the mirror's reflective surface to
glow along its edge. For the next minute, you can view
creatures and objects reflected in the mirror as if you had
truesight.
Rifle of Endless Torrent
Weapon (rifle), very rare (requires attunement)
Forged from shards of a decanter of endless water, this rifle
maintains its connection to the Elemental Plane of Water. It
does not consume ammunition, instead firing water out of its
barrel. It has two settings:
Stream. This is a concentrated burst of water that strikes
an opponent. Make an attack roll as normal; on a hit, it
deals 1d12 bludgeoning damage.
Torrent. Before making an attack with this setting, you
must use a bonus action to speak the weapon's command
forward in a line 5 feet wide and 30 feet long. Each
creature in that line must make a DC 14 Strength saving
throw. A creature takes 3d12 bludgeoning damage and is
knocked prone on a failed save. It takes half as much
damage and isn't knocked prone on a successful save.
Ring of Iron Sight
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
This rusted iron band has a forked protrusion on it shaped
like the sights of a gun. While attuned to this item, the
maximum range of firearms you wield increases by half.
Additionally, the ring has four charges. While wearing it,
you can use your bonus action and expend one charge to
sight a target within the maximum range of your firearm. If
you do, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll if the
target is beyond the gun's normal range.
The ring regains 1d4 expended charges after a short or
long rest.
69
 Ring of Snapback
Ring, very rare
remaining rounds in your gun with magic from the stars.
This silver ring is an ornate band adorned with two green
gemstones in the shape of an hourglass turned on its side.
As attacks with it deal 1d6 additional force or fire damage
an action you can tap the ring, instantly teleporting back to
the space you occupied 1 round (6 seconds) ago. If that space
is occupied, the creature in it is immediately pushed into the
nearest available unoccupied space and must make a DC 15
Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 force damage on a
failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
Ring of the Ripper
Ring, legendary (requires attunement by a Neutral or Evil
character)
you to unlock any lock - including those on a door or chest -
This old, golden ring looks as though it may be worth
upwards of 10,000 gp. It has a tiny dark red stain on it that
can't be cleaned off.
Drain. A phrase, unknown to you, but familiar to someone
else, burns in your mind. You can use your action to say this
phrase. When you do, the ring burns brightly as that hand
reaches out towards your opponent. Make an unarmed melee
attack against a creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the
target must succeed a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or
take 6d4 necrotic damage. You regain hit points equal to the
necrotic damage you dealt. You must wait one hour before
you can use this feature again.
Bloodied Blade. When you make an attack against a
creature who is either surprised or unaware of your
presence, it deals an additional 1d8 damage if it hits.
Curse. This ring is possessed by the essence of a serial
murderer named The Ripper. Donning this ring lets his
influence take hold. Once attuned, you may not take the ring
off by any means other than the wish spell.
Sentience. The ring is a sentient chaotic evil ring with an
Intelligence of 18, Wisdom of 24, and Charisma of 22. It has
hearing and darkvision out to 60 feet. It speaks telepathically
to its wearer in a deep, smooth baritone with a touch of
madness at its edges. It understands and speaks Common,
Dwarvish, Elvish, Giant, Gnomish, Primordial, and Infernal.
Personality. The ring takes pleasure only in violence, and
its goal is to shape its wearer into a killer worthy of the
moniker "The Ripper". It is incredbly talkative and constantly
speaks to its wearer, even offering suggestions for courses of
action that will encourage more bloodshed. In combat, it
often makes comments such as "Yes, more...", "He looks
weak, finish the job", etc.
Six of Stars
Weapon (revolver), very rare (requires attunement)
mechanically sealed to allow it to function even when
This +2 revolver was forged from the alloy found in a meteor
and enchanted with its stardust. It has 6 charges, which can
be expended to use the following abilities:
When making an attack with this gun, you can expend 2
charges to turn the round into a meteorite. This is
identical to a meteor from Melf's minute meteors (save
DC 14). You can expend additional charges to increase the
damage dealt by 1d6 per additional charge expended.

As a bonus action, you can expend 1 charge to infuse the
For the next minute or until you reload this gun, your

This weapon regains 1d6 expended charges whenever you
complete a long rest, as long as it has a view of the sky.
Skeleton Key
Wondrous item, legendary
This golden key is sculpted in the likeness of a skull and long
bones, with small rubies inlaid in the eye holes of the skull. It
magically changes its size, shape, and configuration, allowing
without making any tool checks.
Spell Bullet
Wondrous item, rarity varies depending on the spell
This round is a spell bullet that holds a spell of the DM's
choice. When fired out of a firearm, the spell is cast following
the rules as detailed in the Spellshooter's Arcane
Ammunition feature. If you have a class feature that allows
you to cast spells, the spell bullet uses your spellcasting
ability, spell attack bonus, and save DC; otherwise it is cast
using a +5 bonus and a save DC of 13.
Trick-Sleeved Shirt
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a card master)
This white-collared, long-sleeved button down shirt seems to
stay immaculately clean, even in the dirtiest and dustiest
conditions. Additionally, one of the sleeves holds a very small
extradimensional space, accessed by reaching into the space
between the forearm and the sleeve. This space has enough
room to hold a single card, or an item of a similar shape and
size.
A card master attuned to this garment can place a single
spell card from their collection in this space as part of the
same rest used to prepare their deck. As a bonus action, you
can perform a DC 11 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to
switch one of the cards in your hand with the one hidden up
your sleeve, enabling you to cast that spell as if it were in your
hand. Alternatively, you can perform a DC 16 Dexterity
(Sleight of Hand) check to simply add the card in your sleeve
to your hand.
Weapon, Watertuned
Weapon (any ranged weapon), uncommon
This weapon has had its functional parts magically and
immersed in deep water. You may use this ranged weapon
normally underwater - that is, your attacks do not have
disadvantage when attacking a creature within the weapon's
normal range, and your attacks against creatures out to the
weapon's maximum range do not automatically miss.
Artifacts
The artifacts presented here are provided as examples. Use
them as guides when creating your own artifacts, or modify
them as you see fit.
Lycan's Bane
Weapon (longsword), artifact (requires attunement)
black scythe sports a sturdy blood red oak shaft, and its blade
This sword was created by the paladins of Lunum, the moon
god. This sword was created to fight the swarms of
werewolves that were destroying the land. This sword has a
gem in its pommel that is clear, round, and glows in a way
that emulates the phases of the moon. The blade itself is
silver, seeming to glow with faint moonlight.
This longsword deals an additional 2d6 radiant damage
when it hits. When used against a creature afflicted with the
curse of lycanthropy, attack rolls against it are made with
advantage. Additionally, the first time a creature afflicted with
lycanthropy is hit with this weapon, it automatically becomes
a critical hit.
Silver Weapon. Lycan's Bane is a silvered weapon.
Silver Salvation. Lycan's Bane holds 5 charges. A charge
can be expended to activate one of the following abilities:
You pray to the moon god Lunum with the blade in hand,
and your senses open, allowing you to identify all
creatures with the curse of lycanthropy within a 60-foot
radius.
You hold the flat of the blade to the heart of a willing or
incapacitated creature that has the lycanthropic curse,
drawing the affliction from their body and curing them.
Removing the curse this way takes 1 minute.
You hold Lycan's Bane up to the sky, pommel up. The clear
gem will shine with a faint white light, turning werewolves
nearby. Creatures afflicted by lycanthropy that are within
30 feet of you have disadvantage on attack roll while in
this radius. Each affected creature also suffers the effects
of the bane spell, and must succeed a DC 16 Charisma
saving throw or become frightened of you for 1 minute.
Lycan's Bane regains all expended charges daily at each
moonrise.
The sword is powerless on moonless nights. All evil
creatures with the curse of lycanthropy that see you with this
sword will be openly hostile to you and those in your
immediate party.
Destroying Lycan's Bane. The sword can only be
destroyed using a dark ritual which can only take place on a
moonless night. The ritual involves sprinkling the blood of 3
willing creatures with any type of lycanthropy on the blade
while whispering the correct incantations. This ritual leaves
the blade magicless and vulnerable, allowing it to be melted
down in a fire - though if the sword is recovered before this
occurs, a priest of Lunum can restore its magic by conferring
his blessing.
Sworn Pactbreaker
Weapon (war scythe), artifact (requires attunement)
Legend says that the Sworn Pactbreaker was wielded by the
champion of the Thalyot family for over a century,
dispatching justice and freeing enslaved peoples from blood
pacts with demons, devils, and other evil outsiders, typically
by destroying the demons responsible. This incredibly sleek
is made up of a jagged, razor sharp edge that calls to mind
the teeth of a fearsome dragon.
Before attuning to the weapon, the prospective wielder
must survive three trials.
The First Trial. Upon first holding the scythe, a
wellspring of voices resonates in the wielder's head,
chanting loudly and violently in multiple languages, "Cut
the ties. Set them free. Break the bonds." The chanting
lasts for up to an hour, starting off barely audible but
growing louder with every passing minute. The wielder
must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw to withstand
the overwhelming pressure of these voices. On a failed
save, they are deemed unworthy and immediately drop the
weapon at their feet; they are unable to wield the Sworn
Pactbreaker, let alone touch it. This effect lasts for 1d4 + 2
days, upon which the creature can try again.
The Second Trial. Upon successfully passing the first
trial, a single, sharp voice will speak directly to the wielder,
asking them what the purpose of the Sworn Pactbreaker
is. Only the correct answer - judged by the DM - will allow
them to succeed the trial, though if the wielder is of evil
alignment, there is no possibility of a correct response. An
incorrect response will cause the wielder to be deemed
unworthy, suffering the effects as above.
The Third Trial. The scythe speaks to the wielder again,
giving them a mission to free a citizen from their bond
with a lesser demon. The wielder must kill or banish the
demon to pass the third trial; only then will they finally
attune to the weapon and unlock its full potential.
Once attuned, the wielder of the Sworn Pactbreaker gains
the following benefits:
Righteous Judgment. The Sworn Pactbreaker deals an
additional 2d10 radiant damage on a hit. If the target is of evil
alignment (lawful evil, neutral evil, or chaotic evil), it deals
another 1d10 radiant damage on a hit.
Champion of the Pactbreaker. Your Strength and
Dexterity scores each increase by 2, to a maximum of 20.
Sentience. The weapon is imbued with the consciousness
of its previous wielders. The collective consciousness speaks
to the current wielder, teaching and guiding their actions to
make them truly worthy to hold the blade.
Destroying the Sworn Pactbreaker. Only a Demon Lord
can truly destroy the Sworn Pactbreaker. This can be done by
defeating its wielder in combat, then lighting it ablaze with
hellfire.

 Armor Set of the Tyrant
Ages ago, a man called Cyprus the Divine ruled over a vast
human kingdom. He possessed a great power that seemed to
come from the divine, allowing him to very nearly match
them in power. He was named the God King, and he was an
unstoppable general, generous leader and a humble man.
Countless races and factions banded together to attempt to
overthrow Cyprus and obtain his overwhelming power for
themselves, but every army that came was defeated before
they could even reach him.
While he was seen as a god, he was still mortal and human.
He eventually grew old, and the constant war made him
paranoid. He foresaw the existence of Ascendants, people
prophesied by the gods to succeed Cyprus in his rule. Fearing
the loss of his power and return to mortality and death, he
searched frantically for these Ascendants, claiming the gods
decieved him and that they would destroy him and his
kingdom. His methods grew increasingly brutal, including
mass executions and razing of villages, killing every
Ascendant he could get his hands on save for one - his son,
Alexander, the man Cyprus saw fit to properly succeed him
after his passing.
Alexander came of age some time after Cyprus's death, and
sought to become the next to be called Divine, like his father.
To accomplish this goal, he learned that an Ascendant had to
"become one with all... to give up everything, and take
everything." He tried, as did other Ascendants who survived
Cyprus's wrath, and all have failed. What the old king failed to
mention was that the key to manifesting his power lay in the
armor that he had always worn. With its pieces scattered to
the winds, Alexander began his new quest, leading an army of
magisters on a hunt for his father's legendary suit of armor.

are being pulled in another direction.
Your speed is reduced As you don this ring, you feel as if a terrible weight has been
by half while wearing these boots. Additionally, during a short
or long rest, roll a d100. On a roll of 90-99, you wake from
your rest 1d10 x 100 feet away from where you made camp
in a random direction. On a roll of 100, you wake 1 mile from
your camp in a random direction without making a sound.
Eyes of the Tyrant
Wondrous item, artifact
already. Finally completing the set fills you with the power
This black and silver helmet has a visor that shields your
face. When you look through it, your eyes appear to have
turned a fiery red. While wearing the helmet, your Strength
score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score,
and you gain resistance to fire damage.
Curse. While wearing this helmet, you feel your body
temperature begin to rise. The heat is unnerving, but
becomes natural the longer you wear the helmet, to the point
that being without that heat physically harms you. You gain
vulnerability to cold damage. If you remove the helmet, your
cold vulnerability remains for 1d4 days.
72
Tracks of the Tyrant
Wondrous item, artifact
This set of silken garments is enchanted to remain perfectly
clean and sizes perfectly to fit your body. Despite this,
wearing it causes a shiver to run through your entire body.
While wearing the helmet, your gain resistance to lightning
damage and your speed increases by 10 feet.
Curse. Despite the lightness of the garment, it feels as if
wearing it makes you feel like something is missing. You gain
one level of exhaustion while wearing it. This level of
exhaustion cannot be removed except if you possess two
more pieces of the Tyrant's armor. A spell such as greater
restoration can suppress this level of exhaustion for 4 hours.
Heart of the Tyrant
Armor (half plate), artifact
This black and silver armor fills you with immense heat and
power as you don it, as every movement threatens to unleash
it upon your foes. Your melee attacks deal 1d6 additional fire
damage on a hit.
Curse. This fire is hard to control, and bursts painfully
from your body without warning at the slightest disturbance.
Whenever you are hit with an attack or spell, you take an
additional 1d6 fire damage.
Dukes of the Tyrant
Wondrous item, artifact
These black and silver gauntlets fill you with an oddly
comforting warmth, despite their harsh appearance. There is
a small notch on the ring finger of one of the gauntlets, and
the longer you stare at that spot, the more you feel that
something is meant to fit there. While wearing these gloves,
you lose vulnerability to cold damage and gain resistance to
cold damage.
Curse. The warmth, though beneficial at times, seems to

by obtaining the Ring of the Tyrant or by a wish spell.

you could conquer the world. While wearing this ring, your
Constitution score increases by 2.
Curse. While you wear the ring, you find yourself unable
and unwilling to take it off. It cannot be removed except by
the wish spell. Additionally, you find yourself driven to find the
other pieces of the Tyrant's armor, if you do not have them
and spirit of a long-deceased warlord who ruled entire
realms. The curses from the other pieces of the Tyrant's
armor no longer affect you, as long as you are wearing the
entire set. However, if you lose a single piece of this armor, all
of your ability scores are reduced to 10 until you reclaim the
missing piece. Additionally, you gain the following flaw: "My
armor is more valuable than my life. I must protect it at all
costs."

light firearm in the other, when you make an attack with
either of those weapons, you can use your bonus action to
attack with the other.
Wielding a light firearm or finesse melee weapon in your

or Gun Duelist gun tactic.
You can ignore the loading time and reload action for a
light firearm in one hand if you are holding nothing in the
other hand.

 Firearms Enthusiast
You have trained in the proper stance and technique to
effectively wield a variety of firearms. You gain the following

spellcasting ability for these spells.
You regain unspent uses of this feature at the end of a long
rest.
Gremlin
You're particularly good at seeking out and finding the
weakness in gears, drive mechanisms, and the like, and can
confidently disable a mechanical device with a single fell
swoop, if you so desire.
As a bonus action, you may make an Intelligence
(Investigation) check to attempt to identify the weakness of a
mechanical device or construct. If you can find such a
weakness, you may make a Sleight of Hand check, attack roll,
or other similar means to attempt to take advantage of this
weakness, at the DM's discretion.

Handled with Care
You understand the delicate machinery and overall
limitations of primitive firearms and know how to handle

You have stumbled across a card that seems to have a
magical connection to you. This card is a spell card, meant

ability for it. Additionally, when you take this feat, choose a
1st level spell from the card master spell list. You can use
your lucky card to cast this spell. Once it is used, you can't use
it again until after you complete a long rest.
If you have this feat, then gain a level in the card master
class, or if you are already a card master when you take this
feat, you do not gain the benefits listed above. Instead, when

incapacitated, you gain the following benefits:
You get a +1 bonus to attack rolls with firearms.
Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature when making an
attack roll with a firearm does not impose disadvantage

than your mount.
You have advantage on attack rolls against any unmounted
creature smaller than your mount within your firearm's
normal range.
Musketeer
You have trained yourself to specialize in the use of weapons
that require time to reload after each shot. You gain the
following benefits:
Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You gain proficiency in firearms with the long loading

After making an attack with a firearm with the long
loading property using the Attack action, you may use your
Pistol Whipper

chance that using them for their intended function is ill-
advised. Increase your Strength or Dexterity by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
Additionally, you are now considered proficient with
firearms you use as melee weapons. Light firearms deal 1d6
bludgeoning damage and are considered finesse weapons,

times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1). You
regain any spent uses whenever you complete a long rest.
75
 Superior Marksman
You have perfected the art of the patient, precise kill. When
you wield a heavy firearm that has either a telescopic sight or
longshot sight equipped on it, you get the following benefits:
If you use a bonus action to steady your aim with your
firearm, you can choose to make an attack roll that can
neither have advantage or disadvantage. On a hit, if you
roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die, you can reroll that die and
must use the new roll.
If you make a ranged attack roll with advantage, you can
reroll one of the attack rolls once.
Tinkerer
You are inquisitive and insightful when it comes to looking at
and modifying a device's inner workings. You gain the

If working on an item or performing a crafting task during
a long rest, you can choose to treat the results of a given
tinker's tools check as if you had rolled a 20. If you use this

the benefits of a short rest instead.
Vengeful Blade
Prerequisite: Awakened undead (revenant)
same ease that a druid can calm an animal. You get
Fate has seen fit to further equip you for your quest to right
the wrong that felled you. You may use this feature as a
reaction to get advantage on an attack roll you make against
the target of your revenge, or to cause an attack roll made by
that creature against you to be made at disadvantage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You regain any expended
uses after completing a long rest.
76
Vicious Augmentation
Prerequisite: one or more limbs replaced with a prosthetic,
proficiency with tinker's tools (or access to a qualified
craftsman)
You've modified your prosthetic limb, making it into a viable
item in melee. When you take this feat, choose one of the
following benefits:
Mental Link. Choose Charisma or Wisdom. Your
unarmed strikes and melee weapon attacks may use the
chosen ability in place of Strength or Dexterity when
determining bonuses to attack and damage rolls.
Power Fist (Arm/hand prosthetic only). The damage of
your unarmed strike increases to 1d6 + your Strength
modifier. Additionally, before you take the Attack action on
your turn, you may take a bonus action to charge power in
your fist. If you do so, the damage of your unarmed strike
improves again to 1d12 + your Strength modifier until the
end of your turn.
Spring-Recoiled Sprint (Leg/foot prosthetic only).
When a creature misses an attack against you, you may
use your reaction to move up to 10 feet without provoking
an attack of opportunity.

Wheelman
Prerequisite: proficiency with land vehicles

madness upon you, whichever is higher, and reduces by 1 for
every subsequent failed save.

Unique Items / Gear
They say that any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic. These items are unique
enough in this highly technological age that they might as
well be magic. Many of these unique are highly mechanical
and have a lot of moving/working parts requiring delicate
maintenance.
These items and weapons are complex and unfamiliar,
requiring special training to use - which is indicated by
proficiency with exotic weapons, items, and armor.
3-Dimensional Maneuver Gear
Armor (light), Very Rare
Weight total: 10 lbs (50 lbs on a full tank)
Cost: 10,000 gp
This device allows players to grapple on to walls and hard
surfaces within range. It is controlled using a specially built
weapon that triggers a gas release mechanism. The item
includes three pieces: the gas release, grappling hooks, and
weapon control.
Grappling hook. The gas-powered hook launcher and rope
is the defining feature of this device. The crossbow-bolt-like
hook is attached to a cable made of tough, high-tension
cables that are 200 feet long. Six rope-and-grapple
assemblies are stored in the device, ready to be deployed. The
grapples and ropes contribute 10 pounds to the weight of the
maneuver gear.
Deploying the hook requires either your full movement or
your action. Choose a point on a wall or surface within range;
if its hardness is less than 10, the hook embeds itself
completely into the material, anchoring itself to that spot.
In a precarious situation, the hook launchers themselves
can be used as a weapon; however, due to their size and
design, an attack made using the launchers is made at
disadvantage and only deals 1d4 piercing damage on a hit.

78
    Weapon control. The weapon you control the gear with
must be specially fitted to the gear itself. When you obtain the
gear, choose one of the following weapons: light mace,
longsword, rapier, shortsword, scimitar, or sickle. You can
also choose a shield this way, following the rules for using it
as an improvised weapon if you attack with it.
    As part of the construction of the maneuver gear, the
chosen weapon is attached to it with an array of light cables.
You use controls on the weapon to activate the hooks and gas
release, which allows you to attack and maneuver using the
gear simultaneously. You can be disarmed, but picking the
weapon up only requires a bonus action and does not
provoke attacks of opportunity.
Control during cabled flight. While maneuvering using
the gear, as part of your movement, you can shift your body
weight, displacing yourself in any direction up to 10 feet. This
shift of weight requires a successful DC 16 Acrobatics check.
The DC of this check is reduced by 2 if you are using two
maneuver gears in conjunction. Your destination remains the
same.
Releasing the cables prior to landing. You can disengage
the grappling hook before you land as a bonus action. If you
do this in midair, you are now in free fall and have little
control over your landing location. You will still keep your
momentum, flying in the same direction as before unless you
succeed a DC 20 Acrobatics check to displace yourself 5 feet.
After this movement, you fall (and take damage) as normal.
Landing horizontally. If you are traveling horizontally
when you reach the hook's destination, you must make a DC
16 Athletics check, taking 3d6 bludgeoning damage per 50
feet traveled.
Jet Pack
Armor (light) Legendary
Weight total: 15 pounds (20 pounds with full tank)
Cost: 15,000 gp
The jet pack allows players to move in three dimensions at
high speeds. Unlike the 3-Dimensional Maneuver Gear, it
requires no support, meaning that the player doesn't need to
have ground or structures near them to fly with full
maneuverability.
Jet Propulsion. A pair of exhaust vents are located on the
bottom of the jet pack. The high-speed gouts of superheated
air that come out of them are the primary force used in the
generation of lift, giving the wearer a flying speed of up to 40
feet, with complete maneuverability.
Fuel Supply. The jetpack has a high-speed intake fan along
its top edge that takes in air to help ignite the fuel to generate
large amounts of power. This ignition requires a special kind
of fuel, which is held in a single tank fuel cell.
Fuel for the jetpack comes in a solid form that costs 50 gp
per pound, and the jetpack's fuel cell holds 5 pounds of fuel at
a time.
Every 100 feet of movement using the jet pack consumes
one pound of fuel. In an emergency case where you run out of
fuel while in the air, there is a secondary thruster and backup
fuel source that allows an additional 50 feet of movement and
helps slow your descent.
Landing. Landing safely requires a DC 16 Dexterity
(Athletics) check if you are traveling more then 10 feet
vertically at an altitude of over 10 feet. On a failed check, you
take 3d6 bludgeoning damage per 50 feet traveled. If you fall,
you take damage as normal.

You gain a resistance to non-magical bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage. Additionally you gain
resistance to one oy your choice between acid, cold, fire,
lightning, poison, or thunder damage.
While you gain benfits from wearing the armor, it comes
with its own uniique detrimental effects while you wear the
armor:
Your Dexterity score decreased by 4 to a minimum of 10
as well as disavantage on all Dexterity saving throws.
Your movement speed is reduced by half.
You gain vulnerablity to force damage.
Battery Life. The power armor runs on a protected
enchanted crystal that fits into a specialized slot in the back
of the armor. This crystal's magic lasts for a total of 24 hours
of continued use before it shatters and the armor is rendered
immobile. The armor gives off a series of faint pulses when
the crystal's magic is reduced to only 4 hours remaining.
A replacement crystal can be purchased for 2,200 gp.
Alternatively, if you are a spellcaster, you can use your action
to expend one 3rd-level spell slot, two 2nd-level slots, or three
1st-level slots to instantly recharge the battery to full capacity.

Power Armor Options

Depending on where and how it appears in the
adventure, you might wish to modify the features
of the power armor.
Attached Weapons For an additonal 3,500 gp the
power armor can outfited with an array of attached
weaponry. These weapons can be equipped as a
bonus action and sheathed as a bonus action.
Melee weapons that can be used are any simple
or martial weapons. With fireamrs only sidearms,
the gunlance or rifleblade can be attached. Only up
to two weapons can be attached to the power
armor at a time
Rebreather. For an additional 5,000 gp when you
purchase this armor, it can be fitted with an oxygen
rebreather that gives the wearer the amphibious
trait. Additionally the rebreather gives the wearer
advantage against saving throws needed for
poisonous gases.

Prosthetics
The adventurer’s life is not an easy one, and odds are that
sooner or later, someone is going to be missing something.
There are many ways in which a character can lose a limb
There are also
(such as an attack from a sword of sharpness) but not all are
described in detail. It is mentioned that someone who is
turned to stone, damaged, and then turned back to flesh
suffers the same “deformities” that were suffered while
petrified. Presumably this would mean a missing arm or leg.
Others are more vague, but the description of the regenerate
spell clearly states that it regenerates lost limbs, indicating
that such a thing can happen.
Additionally, some third party material spells out the
possibility of loss of limbs - usually products that detail
critical hits and fumbles.
While magical healing is an amazing thing, the truth is that
most parties aren’t going to have a healer of sufficiently
advanced level to cast regenerate to reattach that missing
limb. At lower levels, the amount of money required for such
healing may be unattainable. In short, there are going to be
times when someone’s going to need an artificial replacement
for their own flesh and blood, at least in the short term.
There are several different levels and types of
replacements for a missing limb, from the incredibly basic,
such as hook hands and peg legs, to mechanical and magical
replacements that are nearly as capable as the genuine
article.
Armor for Prosthetics
Armored prosthetics are easily achieved by adding armor-
grade leather or steel to a prosthetic. A character with funds
to spend can choose to add mithril or adamantine armor to a
prosthetic. Typically, only full-length prosthetic arms or legs
are armored. Rather than granting an armor class bonus (as
armor worn by a character would), armor for prosthetics
instead increases the hit points of the prosthetic, making it
less vulnerable to damage from an enemy’s blade.
Loss of Limb
The discussion of prosthetics requires a discussion
on the penalties a character would suffer as the
result of losing a limb. The Injuries variant rule
(found in the Dungeon Master's Guide) denotes
the following:
Losing an Arm or a Hand. You can no longer hold
anything with two hands, and you can hold only a
single object at a time. Magic such as the
regenerate spell can restore the lost appendage.
Losing a Foot or Leg. Your speed on foot is
halved, and you must use a cane or crutch to move
unless you have a peg leg or other prosthesis. You
fall prone after using the Dash action. You have
disadvantage on Dexterity checks made to balance.
Magic such as the regenerate spell can restore the
lost appendage.
Limp. Your speed on foot is reduced by 5 feet.
You must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw
after using the Dash action. If you fail the save, you
fall prone. Magical healing removes the limp.
Types of Prosthetics
There are 4 main types of prosthetics, differing from the
quality of the materials, the craftsmanship and functionality:
Basic, Intermediate, Mechanical and Magical.
2 sub-types, which are add-ons to prosthetics, which are
combat and cosmetic.
Combat add-ons are pieces of tech that replace parts, or
add combat centered mechanics and functions such as
blades, ranged weapons, etc.
Cosmetic add-ons are just pieces that are added to one's
prosthetics to change its appearance, either making it more
natural looking, disguising it, or by making it more menacing
looking.
Basic prosthetics. Cheap, bare-boned (no pun intended),
semi-functional replacements. From hooks to peg legs to
crutches. They are simple, easy to make and very cheap.
Cosmetic prosthetics. A Basic or better prosthetic can be
crafted in a way as to disguise the fact that it is there at all,
though the tradeoff between appearance and usefulness is
very steep.
Intermediate prosthetics. More intricate and adequate
replacements for limbs, giving the owner more freedom of
movement, allowing them to move and perform basic tasks
without many issues. They also come with placements for
attachments. They cost more than the basic prosthetics, but
they give the use most their previous functions back.
Mechanical prosthetics. By using clockwork mechanisms,
powered by the owner's body, this type of prosthetic gives the
user his or her lost functionality back, and more besides,
from weapons or mechanisms that enhance one's strength,
resilience or mobility. The only lingering regret after getting a
prosthetic such as this would be the lack of sensation in the
missing limb, be it pain or simple touch.
These are some of the more expensive kinds of prosthetics,
but also one of the most customizable and well made. It is
rather difficult to find places with engineers and craftsmen
good enough to create these kinds of prosthetics, unless in a
capital or a university of sorts that focuses on this sort of
engineering.
Combat prosthetics. An Intermediate or Mechanical
prosthetic can be specially crafted to serve as a weapon,
sacrificing appearance and function for lethality.
Magical prosthetics. These are very special and rare.
They usually aren’t sold off-the-rack, and are typically
specially crafted for their user. These sort of prosthetics are
enchanted and made from special magical materials that give
the user additional abilities - additionally, they might also give
a user all the functions of a normal functioning limb,
including the feeling of touch and pain.
The bespoke nature of these type of prosthetics, including
their research, development, and enchantment, drives the
cost well beyond the means of most people.

 Prosthetic Limbs
Type    Cost    Description
Basic
Prosthetics
Blunt Fist 50 gp A blunt fist is a solid ball of metal, or sometimes it is shaped like a fist or hammerhead. It is
typically little more than a tool, as its construction is ill-suited for combat.
Blunt Foot 50 gp A solid wooden sphere with the base shaved flat, the blunt foot increases its wearer's walking
speed by 10 feet (though it is still reduced by half before this increase). The wearer's speed cannot
be increased beyond this limit, either by abilities, feats, or magic. Additionally, the wearer can make
a DC 15 Dexterity check to avoid falling prone after taking the Dash action.
Crow’s Foot 60 gp Y-shaped with built in stump grip, the wooden crow’s foot returns the feel of a normal foot to the
wearer, allowing Strength (Athletics) checks that would normally be made with disadvantage due to
the missing foot to be made with a -2 penalty instead. In all other ways it is identical to the blunt
foot.
Crutch 5 gp A Y- or T-shaped implement of wood used to help support one’s weight when one’s leg cannot. A
character’s speed is reduced by 5 feet while using a crutch. The crutch can be used as a club, but
attacks with it are made with disadvantage unless the wearer is proficient with improvised
weapons.
Gaff Hand 25 gp A simple metal gaff hook, like those used by sailors and longshoremen, mounted on a harness that
fits over the character’s stump. It is only capable of the crudest manipulation and does not have a
grip. It is impossible to hold a tool or weapon with this hand, but it can be used for opening doors
or loosely holding onto things. It is otherwise similar to a sculpted hand. A character wearing a gaff
hand gets advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks so long as the hand is used as part of the
intimidation.
Cosmetic
Prosthetics
Sculpted Foot 80 gp This prosthetic is a wooden or stone foot which resembles a real foot. Sculpted feet are often
/Sculpted Leg painted in flesh tones to match the skin of the character wearing them and can only be identified
as a prosthetic with a successful DC 13 Wisdom (Perception) check. If the character is wearing
socks, shoes or boots, no one can identify the prosthetic. The sculpted foot or leg is not at all fully
functional. It is otherwise similar to a blunt foot.
Sculpted Hand 80 gp This prosthetic is a wooden or ceramic hand, usually in a generally relaxed pose, which looks real at
/Sculpted Arm first glance. Sculpted hands are often painted in flesh tones to match the skin of the character
wearing it and can only be identified as a prosthetic with a successful DC 13 Wisdom (Perception)
check. It can hold mundane objects weighing 10 pounds or less, such as cups and pouches,
between its opened fingers, but cannot be used to wield weapons. Any Strength or Dexterity
checks made that involve the prosthetic are made with disadvantage.
Ornate Arm 400 gp An expertly crafted arm that is covered in finely curved goldenrods that engulf it with porcelain
covering the base prosthetic. You can show off its fine craftsmanship to another person to gain
advantage on a single Charisma check against that person. However, due to the nature of the
prosthetic, any Strength or Dexterity checks made that involve the prosthetic are made with
disadvantage.
Ornate Foot 350 gp This is a porcelain foot covered in gold rodding. You can use it to gain advantage on a single
Charisma check as with the Ornate Arm, but your movement speed is reduced by 10 feet (to a
minimum of 10 feet) on difficult terrain.
Ornate Leg 500 gp This elaborate prosthetic functions like the Ornate Foot.
Ornate Hand 300 gp This prosthetic is a replacement hand, but otherwise functions like the Ornate Arm.

Intermediate
Prosthetics
Hinged Calf 75 gp This tight jointed prosthetic is made of leather and metal, and mimics the knee-to-ankle area of the
leg. Ankle/foot prosthetics can be attached to its ankle end. The hinged calf improves mobility to
the point that your speed is no longer halved, though you now walk with a limp (see the Loss of
Limb sidebar above).
Hinged 75 gp This tight jointed prosthetic mimics the elbow-to-wrist area of the arm. Wrist/hand prosthetics can
Forearm be attached to its end. The hinged forearm is made of leather and metal. Strength and Dexterity
checks involving the prosthetic are made normally, though with a -2 penalty.
Pocket 120 gp A pocket shaft gives every impression of being nothing more than a hinged forearm without a wrist
Shaft attachment. However, a pocket shaft actually contains a hidden repository. The pocket can hold as
much as a belt pouch, and is padded to muffle the sound of items moving inside. Discovering the
existence of the pocket shaft requires a DC 25 Wisdom (Perception) check. In all other ways it is
identical to a hinged forearm.
Shin Sheath 120 gp The distance between the knee and the ankle is exactly the same length as the average dagger.
Resembling a hinged calf, the shin sheath is the dream of any rogue who has lost a leg. Finding a
dagger hidden in a shin sheath requires a DC 25 Wisdom (Perception) check. In all other ways it is
identical to a hinged calf.
Talon 65 gp A modified fork or hook, with three metal digits that can open and close, allowing them to hold
objects somewhat well. The claws are manipulated by using the muscles of the upper arm and
turning the remnants of the limb. Some look like a set of simple metal hooks capable of pivoting,
while others are more ornate, shaped to resemble the talons of predatory birds. The talon hand can
be used as a weapon, delivering 1d6 points of slashing damage. It is treated as a light simple
weapon. It is otherwise identical to a gaff hand.
Wooden 95 gp A simplified and not very life-like wooden leg which has a hinged knee and jointed ankle. The
Leg wooden leg allows the character to walk stiffly. It is otherwise similar to a hinged calf.
Mechanical
Prosthetics
Boneless 1,200 gp This prosthetic is made of high-impact, lightweight materials, allowing for greater freedom of
Leg movement. Your do not suffer penalties to your speed with this prosthetic, and your movement
speed increases by an additional 5 feet. However, a well-placed attack could break the prosthetic, as
the material is more brittle than that of regular prosthetics.
Clamp 65 gp A spring-loaded, metal, crab-like claw originally designed by gnomes to improve their grip. The
clamp can hold items like a normal hand, though it cannot be used to wield a two-handed weapon.
Strength and Dexterity checks involving the prosthetic that would normally have disadvantage are
instead made normally with a -2 penalty. Additionally, the clamp can be used as an improvised club,
which the wearer is proficient with.
Clockwork 500 gp The clockwork arm appears to be a normal arm sleeved in plate armor, but when one listens closely
Arm the sound of gears whirring and clicking can be heard whenever the arm moves. First perfected by
gnomes, clockwork arms are now built by several master smiths. The clockwork arm provides a near-
perfect semblance of full functionality, but is quite expensive. Wearing a clockwork arm negates the
penalties from the wearer's missing limb and further grants a character a +2 bonus to Strength when
determining lifting/carrying capacity, as well as for attacks and damage rolls for weapons wielded by
the clockwork arm (the bonus does not apply to weapons wielded by the other arm, except for two-
handed weapons), as well as for grappling.
Clockwork 800 gp Similar to the clockwork arm, the clockwork leg appears to be an armored leg that clicks and whirs
Leg as it moves. The clockwork leg was another gnomish invention. The leg provides a near-perfect
return to full functionality and mobility for the wearer, but is very expensive. The clockwork leg
negates the wearer’s penalties for losing a leg at the knee.
Haft Lock 150 gp A vice that provides a great deal of grip, but unlike the clamp, the haft lock must be adjusted
manually to achieve the proper tension. As a prosthetic, it allows the wearer to wield a weapon two-
handed. Adjusting a haft lock takes an action. It is otherwise identical to the clamp.
Iron Arm 2,500 gp A very strong prosthetic and durable prosthetic made entirely of metal. It is hollow on the inside but
its weight still the wearer to have a minimum Strength score of 14. While wearing this you get a +1
bonus to AC, but when in water deeper than your height you sink to the bottom and can't swim.
Rabbit’s 2,000 gp This lightweight, durable leg prosthetic increases your the height of your high jump to a minimum
Foot of twice your current height.

Hook 25 gp This basic prosthetic deals 1d4 piercing damage when used in combat, and is considered a light
Hand simple weapon.
Bladed 2,000 gp The spring-loaded blade on this prosthetic is treated as a one-handed weapon with the light and
Arm finesse properties. It deals 1d8 slashing damage on a hit. While armed with this it can be put away
and hidden slightly but not fully.
Bladed 3,000 gp The calf and foot of the missing leg is replaced with a heavy, yet sharp blade that you walk upon. You
Leg can make an off-hand attack with a bladed leg even if you are carrying an item in each hand. It deals
1d8 slashing damage and is considered a light martial weapon, but if you don't have martial weapon
training it is considered an improvised weapon.
Crossbow 1,100 gp The crossbow arm is a light crossbow designed to be loaded and fired with one hand. The crossbow
Arm folds into the main body of the prosthetic when at rest. Bolts fired from the crossbow arm deal 1d6
piercing damage.
Dart 900 gp The dart launcher is an arm prosthetic that fires standard darts (1d4 piercing; finesse, thrown
Launcher (20/60)). This is considered a light simple weapon.
Spiked 750 gp The spiked limb is a solid piece of oak covered in metal spikes. An ever-present weapon, it deals 1d6
Limb bludgeoning and piercing damage on a successful strike, and is treated as a light simple weapon. It is
otherwise identical to a blunt hand.
Magical
Prosthetics
Brute's 1,200 gp When equipped with this enchanted limb your Strength score increases by 2, as does your maximum
Arm for that score. Additionally, your carrying capacity triples, as does the weight you can push, drag, or
lift. It otherwise functions as a normal arm.
Dexterous 1,100 gp A leg prosthetic that increases your Dexterity score and its corresponding maximum by 2 and
Leg increases your movement speed by 10 feet, it otherwise functions as a normal leg..
Energy N/A A glowing blue evocation rune is scribed onto the palm. While wearing this prosthetic, a nonmagical
Palm, Cold melee weapon wielded with that hand deals an additional 1d4 cold damage on a hit. You also learn
the frostbite cantrip (save DC 13).
Energy N/A The glowing yellow rune scribed on the palm allows this prosthetic to function as Energy Palm, Cold,
Palm, though the additional damage is lightning instead of cold, and you learn the shocking grasp cantrip.
Electricity You cast this cantrip with an attack bonus of +5.
Energy N/A The glowing red and orange rune scribed on the palm allows this prosthetic to function as Energy
Palm, Fire Palm, Cold, though the additional damage is fire instead of cold, and you learn the produce flame
cantrip. If you attack with the flame from this cantrip, you do so with an attack bonus of +5.
Morphic N/A This black, almost oily-looking prosthetic shifts and morphs at its wearer's will, allowing it to take the
Arm form of any one-handed melee weapon or simple tool the wearer is proficient with. Changing the
form of the morphic arm takes one action.
Wizard’s 3,000 gp Being made of a special and rare material, it is a prosthetic for magic users that lost a limb. When
Hand worn by a magic user, it serves as as their spellcasting focus. Additionally, it is a magic weapon that
can be used to make a melee spell attack, dealing 1d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit.

84
Madness
This is the Madness Variant Rule found in the
Dungeon Master's Guide (p. 258).

In a typical campaign, characters aren't driven mad by the

horrors they face and the carnage they inflict day after day,
but sometimes the stress of being an adventurer can be too
much to bear. If your campaign has a strong horror theme,
you might want to use madness as a way to reinforce that
theme, emphasizing the extraordinarily horrific nature of the
threats the adventurers face.
Going Mad
Various magical effects can inflict madness on an otherwise
stable mind. Certain spells, such as contact other plane and
symbol, can cause insanity, and you can use the madness
rules here instead of the spell effects of those spells.
Diseases, poisons, and planar effects such as psychic wind or
the howling winds of Pandemonium can all inflict madness.
Some artifacts can also break the psyche of a character who
uses or becomes attuned to them.
Resisting a madness-inducing effect usually requires a
Wisdom or Charisma saving throw.
Madness Effects
Madness can be short-term, long-term, or indefinite. Most
relatively mundane effects impose short-term madness,
which lasts for just a few minutes. More horrific effects or
cumulative effects can result in long-term or indefinite
madness.
A character afflicted with short-term madness is
subjected to an effect from the Short-Term Madness table for
1d10 minutes.
A character afflicted with long-term madness is subjected
to an effect from the Long-Term Madness table for 1d10 × 10
hours.
A character afflicted with indefinite madness gains a new
character flaw from the Indefinite Madness table that lasts
until cured.
Short-Term Madness
    d100     Effect (lasts 1d10 minutes)
01-20 The character retreats into his or her mind and becomes paralyzed. The effect ends if the character

takes any damage.

21-30 The character becomes incapacitated and spends the duration screaming, laughing, or weeping.
31-40 The character becomes frightened and must use his or her action and movement each round to flee from the
source of the fear.
41-50 The character begins babbling and is incapable of normal speech or spellcasting.
51-60 The character must use his or her action each round to attack the nearest creature.
61-70 The character experiences vivid hallucinations and has disadvantage on ability checks.
71-75 The character does whatever anyone tells him or her to do that isn't obviously self-destructive.
75-80 The character experiences an overpowering urge to eat something strange such as dirt, slime, or offal.
81-90 The character is stunned.
91-100 The character falls unconscious.

85
 Long-Term Madness
    d100     Effect (lasts 1d10 × 10 hours)
01-10 The character feels compelled to repeat a
specific activity over and over, such as washing
hands, touching things, praying, or counting
coins.
11-20 The character experiences vivid hallucinations
and has disadvantage on ability checks.
21-30 The character suffers extreme paranoia. The
character has disadvantage on Wisdom and
Charisma checks.
31-40 The character regards something (usually the
source of madness) with intense revulsion, as if
affected by the antipathy effect of the
antipathy/sympathy spell.
41-45 The character experiences a powerful delusion.
Choose a potion. The character imagines that
he or she is under its effects.
46-55 The character becomes attached to a "lucky
charm," such as a person or an object, and has
disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and
saving throws while more than 30 feet from it.
56-65 The character is blinded (25%) or deafened
(75%).
66-75 The character experiences uncontrollable
tremors or tics, which impose disadvantage on
attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws
that involve Strength or Dexterity.
76-85 The character suffers from partial amnesia. The
character knows who he or she is and retains
racial traits and class features, but doesn't
recognize other people or remember anything
that happened before the madness took effect.
86-90 Whenever the character takes damage, he or
she must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving
throw or be affected as though he or she failed
a saving throw against the confusion spell. The
confusion effect lasts for 1 minute.
91-95 The character loses the ability to speak.
96-100 The character falls unconscious. No amount of
jostling or damage can wake the character.
86
Indefinite Madness
    d100     Flaws (last until cured)
01-15 "Being drunk keeps me sane."
16-25 "I keep whatever I find."
26-30 "I try to become more like someone else I
know--adopting his or her style of dress,
mannerisms, and name."
31-35 "I must bend the truth, exaggerate, or outright
lie to be interesting to other people."
36-45 "Achieving my goal is the only thing of interest
to me, and I'll ignore everything else to pursue
it."
46-50 "I find it hard to care about anything that goes
on around me."
51-55 "I don't like the way people judge me all the
time."
56-70 "I am the smartest, wisest, strongest, fastest,
and most beautiful person I know."
71-80 "I am convinced that powerful enemies are
hunting me, and their agents are everywhere I
go. I am sure they're watching me all the time."
81-85 "There's only one person I can trust. And only I
can see this special friend."
86-95 "I can't take anything seriously. The more
serious the situation, the funnier I find it."
96-100 "I've discovered that I really like killing people."
Curing Madness
A calm emotions spell can suppress the effects of madness,
while a lesser restoration spell can rid a character of a short-
term or long-term madness. Depending on the source of the
madness, remove curse or dispel evil might also prove
effective. A greater restoration spell or more powerful magic
is required to rid a character of indefinite madness.
Mounts and Vehicles
Over the past centuries of technological improvements, Land Vehicles
advancements have been made to mounted and vehicular Item Cost Speed Capacity
travel. Vehicles such as the bicycle and hot air balloon are
joined by cars, motorcycles, and airships - though some still Caravan 100 gp 30 ft. 500 lbs., including

prefer the traditional horse and buggy, either out of
stubbornness or fear. Even with these new options available, Carriage 100 gp 30 ft 4 passengers

your "mount" right.
Monowheel 1,000 gp 60 ft 1 passenger
Travel Speed and Pace Small Car 750 gp 100 ft 4 passengers,

or 2 with cargo
Speeds of vehicles below are provided in feet per round,
similar to movement speed on foot. Multiplying this speed by Large Car 2,000 gp 200 ft 8 passengers,

ten will give an equivalent speed in feet per minute. And, for
the sake of convenience, dividing this speed by 10 will give a
rough estimate of speed in miles per hour (mph) - which can
then be used to determine how many miles the vehicle travels
in a day.
Speed can be doubled to begin traveling at a fast pace, or
halved to travel at a slow pace. Traveling at a fast pace incurs
a -5 penalty on passive Wisdom (Perception) scores, causes
active Wisdom (Perception) checks to be made at
disadvantage, and has the potential to cause damage to your
vehicle beyond normal wear and tear. Traveling at a slow
pace, by contrast, allows the possibility of stealth, though
significantly impacts your resource consumption, as getting
to your destination takes twice as long.
Wind Speed
Some vehicles move through the air as easily as others do on
land or water. These vehicles rely partially on the speed of the
wind to determine their rate of travel. The DM can roll 2d10
to determine the current wind speed (in feet per round), and
then roll a d8 to determine the direction:
d8 Direction
1 North
2 Northeast
3 East
4 Southeast
5 South
6 Southwest
7 West
8 Northwest
or 6 with cargo
Clockwork 100,000 gp 50 ft 6 crewmen
Tank
Steam Tank 7,200 gp 30 ft 8 crewmen
Steam Engine 10,000 gp 180 ft 300 passengers
Caravans, Carriages, and Carts. These simple vehicles
are pulled by draft horses (or similar animals). A caravan is
designed largely for holding a large amount of cargo, while a
carriage is designed to comfortably house a number of
passengers.
Cars and Tanks. These modern vehicles are fitted with
engines consisting of heavy boilers and condensers. The
power of the vehicle is intrinsically tied to the size of the
boiler. A larger boiler is heavier, but produces more power.
The machinery of a steam-powered car is intricate and
prone to damage at higher speeds, and the wheels and axles
are not tuned for 'off-roading'. Cars travel at half speed when
not traveling on an appropriate surface (i.e. pavement or tight-
packed earth). Tanks do not suffer this penalty, as they run
either on treads or on spiderlike clockwork legs and are
better able to overcome difficult terrain.
Monowheel. This is a one-wheeled single-track vehicle
similar to a unicycle. However, instead of sitting above the
wheel as in a unicycle, the rider sits within it. Steering is
accomplished by leaning within the moving vehicle, though
this is difficult to do at speed or on difficult terrain.
Steam Engine. This vehicle is a train that runs on a very
powerful steam engine, designed for passengers and their
cargo. The size of its engine allows for a much higher
theoretical speed, but since it runs on specially built rails, its
speed is contingent on the quality of the wood and metal
construction of these rails.

An air vehicle is moving with the wind as long as its

direction of travel is either the same or one step away from
the wind's direction (i.e. a vehicle traveling north is moving
with the wind if the wind is moving north, northeast, or
northwest). It is moving against the wind if it is more than

two steps away from the wind's direction.

An air vehicle moving against the wind has its travel

speed reduced by the wind speed, to a minimum of half of its

normal speed. Similarly, an air vehicle moving with the wind
will have its speed increased, to a maximum of 1.5 times its
normal speed.

    Cargo Ship. These bulky vessels are designed for the
transit of large amount of heavy cargo, typically for
commercial purposes. They have a large rear hatch that folds
down into a broad ramp, and typically carry enough
equipment - rope, pulleys, carts and dollies - to ease the
loading and unloading of the ship. Though they are slow
moving, they are designed to protect the cargo they are
transporting.
Carrier Ship. Essentially "longer longboats", carrier ships
are designed with a long flat area and covered shelters
positioned abovedeck. This design provides a long runway for
the launching of the many flying mounts that are stored in the
shelters, as well as a mobile supply station for airborne
troops.
Explorer’s Ship. These light, maneuverable ships are
designed to accommodate a small crew for both short
scouting ventures and long away missions exploring
uncharted areas. Their cabins are designed to accommodate
multiple possible uses.
Feathered Galley: This sleek galley features sails made of
feathers. The figurehead depicts a beautiful harpy flying
above the jaws of a snapping sea drake.
Longboat. Ships designed exclusively for carrying men
quickly. Often little more than just platforms and sails, these
ships may not even use a balloon and may use sails angled to
provide lift. These ships are only lightly armed, but are fast
and maneuverable.
Merchant Ship. Designed for transit of moderate, easily
accessible loads, these ships often double as a traveling
storefront. Ships such as these can act as traveling
restaurants if equipped with a well stocked galley. They have
a collapsible ladder and boarding plank to be used to conduct
business while in the air. These ships are not especially fast
or maneuverable, but offer a smooth, comfortable ride, and
are armed for self-defense.
Personal Vessel. A smaller ship, designed to be easily
controlled and sailed by a small number of operators. These
ships are simple and unarmed, and do not hold much
personnel or cargo. This category of ships includes fishing
boats and small caravels.
Skyboard. This is a flat longboard with a sail attached. It
hovers in the air using special enchantments and is pushed
either using wind power or boosters, depending on the
model. The skyboard comes in many different styles, and is
target towards younger audiences seeking aerial stunts and
acrobatics.
Warship. These airships are designed to be the pinnacle of
aerial combat. They are fast, maneuverable, and well armed.
Large fleets of warships are typically owned by governments,
but lone ships can typically be found sailed by pirates,
merchants and adventurers.

88
    Sky Yacht. Luxury vessels designed for the rich. These
ships are for comfortable, luxurious travel and not much else.
These ships prioritize comfort over any kind of defensive
capability, but are typically fast enough to make a getaway at
the sign of trouble.
Zeppelin. These airships are blimps built for cruising and
luxury. They are crewed by around 15 aeronauts and boast
comfortable seating and scenic views.
Zeppelin, War. This massive rigid skinned blimp is built
for combat up to 3000 feet in the air. The gas bags are
divided into multiple compartments so that a single puncture
will not deflate an entire balloon. The war zeppelin is
commonly crewed by 18 aeronauts (captain, commissar, chief
engineer, cook, signals officer, navigator, and 12 non-
commissioned crew). In addition to its weapon armament, it
often is crewed with an additional 16 armed soldiers
equipped with gliders or jetpacks.
Aerial Screw. Built of soarwood and canvas, this flying
marvel has a rapidly turning rotor that keeps it airborne.
There are no blades but rather a large, fairly flat apparatus of
spiraling sail that thrusts air downward to generate lift.
Alchemical Dragon. This ship is made of wood and is
usually crafted in the shape of a dragon. It is held aloft purely
by its alchemical engine, a complicated and dangerous device
that has a tendency to explode when the vehicle becomes
wrecked. If an alchemical dragon crashes, the DM can choose
make a DC 24 Constitution check using the Constitution
modifier of the pilot. If the check fails, the alchemical engine
explodes, dealing 10d10 points of fire damage to all objects
and creatures within a 60-foot radius of the alchemical
engine. A creature can make a DC 17 Dexterity save to try to
halve this damage.
Glider. A glider is basically a large piece of sail stretched
out with a frame and connected to a handhold and straps.
The only way to get a glider flying is to jump off a steep
incline, allowing the glider to pick up the air current. Gliders
have no power of their own, and must rely on these currents
to remain aloft. When moving with the wind, a glider loses 5
feet of altitude for every 40 feet of movement. Against the
wind, the glider loses 5 feet of altitude for every 10 feet of
movement. In either case, gliders cannot ascend on their
own.
Ornithopter. These devices are typically powered by
intricate clockwork mechanisms that simulate the
flapping of a bird's wings. Powered by one man (with
some rudimentary enchantments, of course), these
devices compete with skyboards for domination of
the recreational flight market.
Zephyr. A massive balloon containing a bound air
elemental is connected by chains to the ship below.
This ship is similar to a sailing ship, complete with
an open top, and is propelled by commanding
or persuading the elemental to move.
Propulsion Methods
Arcane Engine. A unique blend of science and
magic created this powerful engine. Arcane
engines do not produce heat in the same way
alchemical or steam engines do, and their fewer
moving parts lead to fewer breakdowns, but
maintenance requires the constant attention of
powerful spellcasters, and a midair collision
between two vehicles running arcane engines is
far more disastrous.
Alchemical Engine. Powerful but high on fuel
consumption, these engines burn a very precise
blend of chemicals to generate power. The fuel
must be created by skilled crafters
knowledgeable in the alchemical arts. Its
production requires a successful DC 20
Intelligence (Alchemist's tools) check. On a
failed check, the fuel is either completely
nonvolatile or could cause the ship's engines to
fail or even explode catastrophically.
Steam Engine. The most basic of all the engines,
this engine is the namesake of the current age.
It is powered by two things - water and heat.
Regardless of configuration, steam engines
consist of a large boiler filled with water,
hundreds of pounds of coal to bring the water
to temperature, and a condenser to minimize
the loss of energy to the open air. Steam-
powered vehicles typically require a full crew to
power and steer, and their construction has
many points of failure requiring skilled
technicians to repair.
Solar Sails. These sails are made using powerful
